Imagine if your name is like that.. my friend katamata (which basically means “eye say” / “i say”) told me about a person from Nabawan who’s name is Mulau bin Burit. For your information, in local dialect, Mulau means crazy and Burit means buttocks.

I guess he had a tough time at school. Even with my “good” name, people still dig up my dad’s weird name and started to call me that.

For this guy with this unfortunate name, I reckon he has grown up to be a strong person and his ears and heart has built up a good immune system to name calls. True, just call him the worst or sickest name and I’m sure he’ll be saying to you “is that all you’ve got?”. I bet if he uses the same names that has been thrown at him, back to you, you will cry like a baby.

Katamata stated his theory that when the father was named Burit and endured all the tough times, he wanted to “pass” the legacy along by naming his kid Mulau. That’s why you have the double-whammy of Mulau bin Burit.

I wonder what Mulau would name his kid? Kointut? Tonsilot? Hahahahaha (sorry can’t help it).

You know anyone with strange or weird names? Let me know!
