Ogah

An Indonesian first name borne by a character in the made-for-TV film "Si Unyil". The name has the unfortunate meaning of "refusing." It highlights a cultural difference in naming conventions, where native Indonesian first names like Nida, Rinto, Ririn, Tatang, Tiyan prioritize ease of pronunciation over meaning, unlike names of Arabic or Chinese origin.

Choosing a name like Ogah for my son was a fun nod to the Indonesian made-for-TV film "Si Unyil", even if it means 'refusing'!
