Tenzin

Fairly common Tibetan name.
Original name is given to the Dalai Lama.
The current Dalai Lama is named Tenzin Gyatso.
So all the young generation of Tibetans share the same First name "Tenzin" regardless of whether you are male or female.
So you don't call a Tibetan by their first name but by their last
name.

A: Hey Tenzin!
Tenzin Dolma: Don't call me Tenzin... call me Dolma.
