North Indian Kids

Why are so many North Indian (or maybe just Punjabi kids) kids named Munna, Bunty, Babloo (the female version being Babli), Raja ? I know that all of us have had pet names growing up but rarely have they been public and more imortantly after the age of 5 these pet names sort of wane away.

Imagine the stigma of a 22 year old guy being known as Munna? Interesting!
