I also want to share this article with you all: : http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/story/2011-10-22/India-women-names/50869628/1

Also interesting is the naming extraordinaire Laura Wattenberg's, commentary on it: http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2011/10/named-unwanted-baby-names-societies-and-soul-searching

The article is from the USA today and is about 285 girls in Satara who originally had the names "Nakusa" or "Nakushi" that both mean "unwanted" in Hindi. There was a "renaming" ceremony held for them yesterday and the girls picked new names of their choosing. Thanks to my Uncle Per and my brother-in-law Travis for calling my attention to it.
