Telugu names we have abandoned

[Telugodura456]

In INdia there is higher status associated with north  . south indians responded to it by imitating names from north and abandoning their cultural heritage to fit in. As part of this some popular telugu names are no longer in use. Lets make a list

a) Avuku, Ankineedu

b) baapineedu,  bhanu mastan or names mixing hindu/muslims like mastanvalli

c) chenchu naidu or chenchu

d) various names ending with ayya - like ramayya

e) various names ending with anna like venkanna
