GONDA, UTTAR PRADESH: Impressed with the Prime Minister, a Muslim woman has decided to name her newborn ''Narendra Damodardas Modi''.
After failing to convince the mother Mainaz Begum against it, the family in Parsapur Mahraur village has filed an affidavit seeking the registration of the name.
Mainaz Begum came up with the idea while names for the boy were being discussed on May 23, the day the Lok Sabha results came in and Narendra Modi won a massive mandate.
People around her tried to make her change her mind, but she was adamant, her father-in-law Idrees told PTI.
When her husband Mushtaq Ahmed, who works in Dubai, was informed, he too tried to make her drop the idea.
But he ended up agreeing to his wife's wish.
The family then filed an affidavit addressed to the district magistrate and submitted it to Assistant Development Officer (panchayat) Ghanshyam Pandey.
When contacted, Pandey said he received the affidavit on Friday.
He said the application has been forwarded to the village panchayat secretary, who deals with the registration of births and deaths.
