VoxPop – Many said, the name is a prayer that has been given by parents when a baby is born in the world. The name given will be carried over to the end of life, although not infrequently the name can also be changed. However, the name is something that is attached to a person.
But apparently, there are several names in Indonesia that are very often used. Start from Agus, Asep to Sri. Uniquely, there is a community formed by people with the same name.
The community with the same name also often meets and gathers. Well, here’s a community that’s formed because of the names that are often used.
1. Agus-Agus Bersaudara
The Agus-Agus brothers or locally known as Agus-Agus Bersaudara ever meet in community gatherings. At that time, there were about 300 Agus who came. They had previously been gathered in an online Facebook community called the Agus-Agus Brothers. For now, there are more than 5,653 Agus who have joined there.
The AAB or Agus-Agus Bersaudara already has an online/regional community with representatives called the Regional Agus Council. This community already exists in 22 provinces in Indonesia.
2. Sri Community
Sri is one of the most famous names in Indonesia. Sri is synonymous with names originating from Java. The name Sri is usually considered as a less attractive name. However, if people look at the meaning, Sri is a symbol of beauty, fertility and prosperity.
Because for wanted to remove the thought that Sri is a less attractive name, Sri Sayekti from Semarang created a community called Sri community with the motto “From Sri for Sri and for the Nation.”
This community has been established since 2007 and has more than 6,000 Sri. But this number does not include all Sri in Indonesia.
