Naming A Child For 18 Times

   Posted by: admin   in Children

Have you ever heard a child having more than 18 names? He can be called by a name on the daily basis. This happens in the Tiwi societies who are the early Australian people. Names for the people are nevertheless an important aspect in their culture. The child is named for the first name by the husband of the child’s mother with the nicknames of actors of movie and rock or football players. Once the husband dies and the widow remarries another man, all the names given by the dead husband becomes unacceptable and the new husbands avails the right of naming the child again. Just visualize if a woman is married several number of times.
