What's your name?

Although the original idea of this post has been bought from one of my snr as after reading his blog on the same storyline I thought I should also share my point of view!
My name -- Vaniki,
Whenever a person asks such a question from you: "What is ur name", you abruptly speak your name in a fraction of second!
But the things have never been easy on my end!
The time I speak my name name I often see people giving wiered expressions as I if I have spelled some curse
and the very next moment they ask.... "jara fir se batana"
Well these things are not new for me.... as I am used to such activities ....whether be it the normal first time meet or be it the interview scession!
Moreover I have heared several transformations of my name.... be it Bhaniki, Vanili or sometimes even valmiki,Vaani, Vaanu,! and many more.
But after so many things I don't know how Panipi is realted to my name :O
But you know just speaking your name is not engouh for me .....the moment I speak my name I have to get ready for several other explainations for my name
Like 1) What does it mean?
2) Such an uncommon name .....have you heared anyone of the same name?
3) Your name seems to be difficult can we call you vaani or some other nick name?
and so on....

Initially when people used to ask me the meaning of my name I used to explain them in a lucid manner that my name means

Person ... What does it mean
Me "Forestry --- which in turn means a small flower and plant area which people often maintain in their
houses "
Person.... Ohh I guess its junglee!
Me ... :O (Ye kya tha!)
Me...(again after some re-thinking).... no its not like dat ...its actually a beautful place maintined by you ..by no means it is connected to junglee!
Person.... Are it's one and the same thing stupid...... And from today we'll be calling you junglee :D
Me .... :( :-

Like this so many attrocities have been made on me by morphing my name :(
As I grew up I found a new way to answer this question!

Person :- What is ur name?
Me - Its vaniki
Person - What does it mean?
Me- Actually it's a two meaning name! Mytholigically it means saraswati and the other meaning is botanical
Person - :- (Baap re!)
Me - :D
(I used this technique during my ragging time as it was one of the most probable question for me and also during my interviews)
And through this way I found a new way to skip from the wiered inferences which people used to draw after listening my name :D

So this was my side of story!
What's your name?
