× My father opted this name inspired by one of the Malayalam bird.
✓ My father opted for this name inspired by one of the Malayalam birds.
The phrase 'opted this name' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'opted for this name'. Also, 'one of the Malayalam bird' should be plural 'birds' because 'one of the' is followed by a plural noun.
× That that's meaning is astonishing or wonderful.
✓ That meaning is astonishing or wonderful.
The phrase 'That that's meaning' is redundant and incorrect. It should be 'That meaning' to correctly refer to the meaning being described.
× Most of the Indian peoples likes to choose uh names from the Indian holy books.
✓ Most of the Indian people like to choose names from the Indian holy books.
'Peoples' is incorrect here; 'people' is the correct plural noun for a group. Also, 'likes' should be 'like' to agree with the plural subject 'people'.
× Uh, noted because my name is very distinct and unique, my father very particularly chose this name.

✓ He wanted to give me a very unique name.
The pronouns 'she, he' are confusing and incorrect here; only 'he' should be used to refer to the father.

The verb 'opt' requires the preposition 'for' when followed by an object; 'opted it' is incorrect.
× That's why none of my family members have the similar names like me.

'The similar names' should be 'similar names' without 'the'. Also, 'like me' should be 'like mine' to correctly compare names.

× I have some more friends in China. Their name is like Candy Cindy, like a two letter name.
✓ I have some more friends in China. Their names are like Candy and Cindy, which are two-letter names.
