AKARTA: Ferry Maryadi says he's named his newborn son Kabay Anaking after heroes from the Sundanese and Star Wars mythos.
The first name comes from devil-may-care Sundanese folk figure Kabayan ' 'an ingenious, smart character who is always one step ahead,' the 40-year-old actor said, as quoted by kompas.com.
Anaking, meanwhile, was inspired by Anakin Skywalker ' Darth Vader's real name. 'I love Star Wars, too,' Ferry, known for his work on the comedy show Ceplas-Ceplos, added.
He also offered another meaning for the name: favorite son.
'In Sundanese, kabayan means baby boy, while anaking means favorite child.'
