are you sure it was robbery, or was it robbelly?

Very interesting.. :lol: :lol:

Indeed... those aren't the very best of names to have in the Malaysian culture (most Americans etc would be a blur)
But I really do hope there will be less mockery towards such poor souls... sometimes it's their parents (in my case, my grandma) who bestowed such names upon their child, although always in good faith.
So when we are born, we are more or less attached with that name. Don't really have a choice.

What's in a name?
