abt ravana's name, if u google for the long name enigma gave, even that returns a page where it is mentioned as ravana's real name. even it is mentioned that "ravana" is actually the initials of that long name: Ra-Va-Na (like NTR or MGR... )



even yr answer returns the same...so i think both of u are right.
