Indian name
Hi! We have just finished our local government elections here in South Africa, and one candidate whose posters appear on local lamp-posts fascinated me. His surname is long and complicated and I'm afraid I can't recall it - Indian from India, certainly, as can also be seen from his photo. The poster also shows that he uses "Derick" as a first name; however his real first name, and I do emphasise the "his", is Anniruth.This seems cruel and unusual as a male name in English; is it fairly routine in Indian communities? I've never encountered it, but barring the national cricket team I don't have much information at all.
