Indian girls changing lst name:unwanted to better names

[bmccasland]

I saw that!!
on the other hand, a lot of our names (for girls) mean sad things. Like Miriam/Mary:bitter
Dolores : pain

But I think that we grow up without knowing the meaning of our names (at least in english speaking countries), it's just a name, or may have some family connection - I got my grandmother's names - could have been Gretchen Blanche if the order went the other way. I'm taking from the article that the girls know the meanings of their names. So instead of being named Miriam, you're named "Bitter".
