James Bond comes out of British Airways at Chennai, goes to his waiting driver and says
"I'm Bond, James Bond. James to you".
For which the driver replies "I'm Subramaniam, Bala Subramaniam. Balls to you...................."

Once it so happened in a flight that, James Bond was sitting besides a Telugu guy Both were traveling to US.
Telugu Guy: Hello May I know your name please?
James Bond: I am Bond… James Bond……. and you?
Telugu Guy: I am Sai… Venkata Sai… Siva Venkata Sai … Laxminarayana
Siva Venkata Sai… Srinivasula Laxminarayana Siva Venkata Sai…
Rajasekhara Srinivasula Laxminarayana Siva Venkata Sai… Sitaramanjaneyula
Rajasekhara Srinivasula Laxminarayana Siva Venkata Sai… Bulusupalli
Sitaramanjaneyula Rajasekhara Srinivasula Laxminarayana Siva Venkata Sai…
Bond faints!!!!

I knew of someone whose name was Jaganathan V. Poolangudi which he creatively changed it to Jack V.Poola.

And then there is always the risk of Babu being called Baboon and Vinay as One Eye as it happened to the two guys in my last place of work.

Reminds me of that joke from Russell Peters....people in North America with names like RamanDeep, HarDik and SukhDeep....

So where do the whites got their three/four letter - two syllable names from?

By abbreviating their long names..

Patrick - Pat
Robert (Robertson) - Rob or Bob
Andrew - Andy
Alexander - Alex or Al
Philip - Phil
Jacques, Jacob, Jackson - Jack
Thomas - Thom
James - Jim
Michael - Mike
Jonathan - John
Stephen - Steve
David - Dave
Etc..

So what is wrong if Mukesh is going with Mike?
