Please explain, is this a polite way of asking a persons name,
Why good name?,
Does It mean something special
Is it impolite to ask, What is your name?
Who uses this phrase ?.

  Iyya sAmi Kallukadai KasatamarE,
  
  ennai vitudungo, sAmi.
  
  Fridge,
  
  daa - denotes a higher degree of closeness or contempt.
  
  An elder sister might address her little brother
  as Endaa dEi. Or, a feudal landlord might address the farm laborer as 'dEi'.
  
  But generally, in mainstream Tamil colloquialism , as in normal conversational Tamil, we do not generally address our younger sisters as -Endi. But there are a couple of exceptions. Among the brahmin Tamils, older brothers address their younger sisters as 'Endi'.
  
  But poets, whether brahmin or non-brahmin, are exempt from this convention. They being male chauvnistic pigs, would generally address the women as -di. When the poets, typically Sithar types, address a woman as -di, it is the goddess in womanhood, the Sakthi - the life giving divine energy - that they are reverentially addressing.
  
  When a man addresses a young lady as 'Endi', like in 'enAdi RakkamA', it denotes a level of love and affection.
  
  Now coming to kakkukadai, there is no such kadai.
  But there is a kakka kadi. My good friend, the other Kallukkadi Kastamer, will complete the following lyric - once again from an old movie, that I can not recall.
  
  kakka kadi kadichi koddutha kamaru katti muttayi
  shokA vAngi thinukiittu, vittAnayiA savari

  Is it "savari" or "kottaavi"? The song, I think, is:
  suNdelikkum suNdelikkum thirumaNamaam
  iravil chOlathattai pallaakkile Urvalamaam
