As a last resort walk around an old graveyard to find brit graves and lift
names from there. People in several parts of India (and Africa) seem to do
this .. So you get people like "Oneill Shahapurkar" - a security guard at my
dad's factory in north karnataka [near the maharashtra border]
Some truly funny names result from this, to be sure - like the former
president of Zimbabwe, Rev. Canaan Banana (who got ejected from his post for
buggery, a few years before he died, prompting headlines like "man raped by
banana")
