Babynames.lk : Sinhala baby names by Kala Suri Ariesen Ahubudu

On the 18th March of this year, Kala Suri Ariesen Ahubudu celebrated his 89th birthday. When I went to meet him during that evening, he was still full of energy an was explaining his latest book titles with me. It is really fascinating to see a person working so tirelessly at such an age. If I said I was inspired by his energy, then it’s very much an understatement. Wait there is more..

I am simply blown away by the inspiration wiritngs of his and the gems that he has given to our country. But when I sat down to talk with him, he wanted me to come up with ways of adding his works into YouTube. Imagine that. At 89 years young, he is quite unbelievably in touch with the latest technologies and knows the importance of technology when it comes to making an impact.

So in the coming days, I will be adding works and important lectures by Kala Suri Arisen Ahubudu so that the world can listen. During these days, he is compiling a book which contains the original names of all our cities and towns in Sri Lanka and should be a valuable source for the government to implement.

In addition to his writings, almost everyone knows that he is the first person that one would go to in order to get a name for one’s baby. Well, as of 18th March 2009, his website for giving names to baby saw a redesign and was re-launched. The website http://www.babynames.lk has all the details on why a baby needs a good name that has meaning. Quoting directly from the website,

A name should be...

• Striking
• Attractive to others
• Melodious
• Meaningful
• Easy to pronounce
• Rhyming with the surname
• Based on proper numerological calculations to ensure - longevity, progress popularity etc.
• The first letter of a name should be selected according to the birth time

The website is simple in its details and tells the audience exactly what is required in order to get a name for a baby. With its website, any person is able to get a name for their baby even if they are not in Sri Lanka. All that is required is
