What's in a name?

A lot. Especially a surname. A lot of typical Indian surnames literally speak to you, and have a personality of their own.

Weak and tired surnames, (almost needy): Khanna, Das
Erudite and knowledgeable surnames: Roy, Trivedi
Surnames spelling confusion: Gupta, Dasgupta
Surnames spelling Elegance: Mehta, Mohan
Surnames that I can't spell: Chidambarambam, Kumaralinganma
Regal surnames: Rai, Rao .. and lets face it, Oberoi
