I don't know if you guys have noticed this, nearly all the movie hero's character name is b/w four or five names?

Example - Raju or Raja, Siva, kanna, Chandru, raghu and a couple of others. Siva being the very popular

There are so many good names in the world, why do they have to have the same names over and over again. Is that because they are lazy and don't want to think about this. Pls forward your good opinions.

  How would anyone like if a hero is called
  
  muniyandi?
  
  hence it has to be shiva or raj or whatever!
  Guess our mentality should change to accept all names.

  how about Deivaraj for a villain, very popular, I heard that name in the last three 'new' films I watched. It is getting annoying.
  
  As to respond to why they use common names, the name has to be easy to use in a song or for the hewroine to call out it can't be somehting like 'Thavapalachandran' the heroine would run out of nbreathe before she could say that. The other thing is I feel that maybe people feel easier to connect to the characters when they have such common names instead of weird ones or different ones!!!!!
