How did you get your name?

How did I get my name?

I'm 100% sure my name was chosen through the tamil numerical system of names. For those of you who aren't familiar with this, it is a system of numbers used to find out which letters are most suitable for you, with respect to your date of birth. Some letters are also identified as "bad luck." Anyways, my birth name was actually different from my present name. At birth, my parents decided to name me 'Nirojhan' because they wanted to follow the 'N' streak. Most of my older cousins, have their names starting with 'N' so my parents decided to continue the tradition. However, two years pass by, and they decide to change my name. They came to this decision because they thought that my name sounded too familiar to my brothers name. They couldn't live with it. This is when my grandmother came into play. She had always disliked my original name. She came up with the thought of having my new name start with the letter "T." According to the tamil numerical system of names, the letter 'T' was suitable for me. And out of the bang, came THEVAGAR. According to my parents, my name refers to the sun. In our religion the sun is a ritual symbol that connects us to God. My parents then agreed to this idea and went ahead with going through the process of changing my name. The interesting part is that now I have two birth certificates and SIN numbers, but that's none of my business.
