Baby name story: Ramit

From the cover of the book "I Will Teach You to Be Rich" (2009) by Ramit Sethi

In late 2011, Fortune ran an article about finance guru Ramit Sethi (pronounced ruh-MEET say-tee), author of the book I Will Teach You to Be Rich. In the piece, Ramit told the story behind his name:

Sethi says his name was originally supposed to be Amit, not Ramit. But when his parents realized that Amit Singh Sethi’s initials spelled out a profanity, they went back to the registrar and convinced him that he had erroneously dropped an “R.” “Like true immigrants, they didn’t request a name change, because that would be, like, $50,” he says.
