What kind of parent would name their child “unwanted”

A central Indian district held a renaming ceremony it hopes will give the girls new dignity and help fight widespread gender discrimination that gives India a skewed gender ratio, with far more boys than girls.

Well they seem to have a way to go on changing their cultural bias.

The new certificates that they received appears to have a picture of a little boy on the right side of the certificate.

When they take jobs with U.S. call centers they’ll be called “Alice” and “Nancy” anyway!

Is “Unwanted” worse than “LaTrina”? You bee the judge!

Actually, I think it helps toughen them up for life in a rat hole of a country.

I know so many couples who can’t conceive and go through many hassles to try to adopt children. None of those lovely Indian girls are truly unwanted when there are so many couples around with big hearts and empty arms.

It is not as bad as unwanted girls aborted without restrictions in China.

Those are such nice looking young women, I am glad they got new names. On the very slight plus side for India there is at least enough awareness and cultural change that an event like this managed to get organized. Their parents are the ones who should of been ashamed of their old names, for it showed them to be ignorant and insensitive.

India and China are heading for serious problems. Too many boys, way too few girls. That’s a lot of pent up testosterone.
