"Whats in a NAME???"

Recently, i boarded a BTS bus from shivajinagar bus stop..I was the only person standing in the whole bus and it was a bit embarrassing.For my luck,one small cute girl offered me a seat next to her by adjusting along with her mom as there was place only for two ppl (Cho chweeet of her!!!!)..I think that girl was just around 7-8 years..For sometime, she was munching on some chocolates and some snacks given by her mom.After finishing the chocolates, she started asking a lot of questions on whatever she was seeing out of the window with her small curious eyes.I could understand only bits and pieces as the girl was conversing with her mom in Urdu.. Eventhough i couldnot understand much, i was enjoying her innocent questions and her sweet voice ...
After sometime suddenly,she asked her mom about a baby by name "Ismail"..she asked her mom why did they name the kid "Ismail" and also wanted to know the meaning of that name..Her mom struggled a bit and then told "Beta,Ismail is just a name to identify a person and it has got no meaning"..The kid disagreed and she told she knows the meaning..I was also a bit surprised and wanted to know how she knew the meaning??..when her mom asked the meaning, she told that her neighbour tells "Ismail","Ismail" ('i.e., smile) before clicking her photo and whenever he tells that, she has to give a broad smile.. so she told "Ismail" means to laugh whenever there is a photo session!!! and she also told she felt funny when the kid was named "Ismail"...I couldnot control my laugh when i heard this..Isn't it so amzing to see how these small kids grasp things and relate it!!.. :))
