"JUDE SIXTUS ANAK JUSES."
Jude's parents were said to be drunk when they came up with the name. Having made the bet to everyone in their rumah (longhouse), when it was time for the father to officiate the baby's name on that piece of governmental paper, the father's warrior pride kicked in. Backing out of a promised naming is not very warrior-like, and in the modern age, one has precious little moments to exercise their warrior spirit. The mother, meanwhile, was conked out of the process, as the baby was a slightly more difficult birth than her prior five children, so she gave her groggy consent.
Drunk people often do things that make other people wanna drink. Jude understood. Jude did not resent. Jude saw it as reasonable, because it's supposed to be sextus, not SIX-tus. Spelling mistakes happened when you're drunk. And Jelungbumians don't even speak the language that uses the word "sextus."
It was only later when Jude found out that their parents were teetotalers.
