Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Dear all, I am back with my stupid thread once again.... :)

Now, this time lets talk about WHO kept your name and WHY?

Good Luck

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

****************** My Name Story ********************

I was born in a small vilage of Punjab (wow, feel so proud). Since, I was born on wednesday, my baba Ji put my name as "Budh Singh" (make perfect sense.....lol) and after few days when the family had a letter "J" from Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.....I think "Jarnail Singh" was a very well known name in 1982 (the year I was born) and my baba ji tell the paathi singh that the name would be "Jarnail Singh" and my Daddy Ji did a boley so nihaal da jakaara and I got this truely wicked name as "Jarnail Singh- meaning Head of Army or Leader"

Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki fateh

Well I was born in Ludhiana, Punjab. My taya ji said that my parents should call me Monica (don't ask why) but few days after my parents went to Gurdwara and "G" was the from Guru Granth Sahib Ji. The granthi ji at Gurdwara suggested Gurmeet, but then my other taya ji started laughing and said that his niece can't have the same name as him, lol. So he gave me the name Gurjeet :@

Thank God my parents didn't listen to my other taya who suggested Monica :)

Lol my story's gay man

My dad really loved the hindi singer 'Kumar Shanu' because he was the closest thing to Mohammed Rafi apparently...but he didnt wanna name me after him, so I got Shanu from that.

Then apparently J came from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Jodhie (middle-name) comes from Harjodh (i believe meaning 'victorious warrior)

- my dads'-cousins'-husbands'-cousin was called Jodha and Dad liked him a lot so that's where that comes from.

apparently i was the worst baby in the universe all i did was eat, sleep, poo and cry so my mama goes "hai hai we gotta give her a happy name"................. and Guru Jee gave the akkar "S" and hence i got the name "Sukhvinder"

God of Happiness :)

You dad is mistaken, Kumar Sanu is nothing compared to Rafi sahib :@ Rafi Sahib is a legend

Thats what I said but then again I dont think Mohammed or Rafi would have suited me :)

My parents respected Baba Ajit Singh (Coventry aka Ajit Darbar) and so before I was born they asked him and he said I would be a boy and to call me Bikram.

My parents also respected this guy called "Raja Sahib"; he has a Gurdwara in India near our pind that kinda acts as a dog sanctuary (loads of dogs everywhere), so they asked him before I was born and he said Bikram aswell.

I ask my mum if we asked from Guru Ji but shes not too sure ohmy.gif :closedeyes:

So anyway my Dad cant spell so on the birth certificate they wrote "Bickrma" something along those lines, by the time I went to school my dad had got slightly better at spelling and registered me as "Bicram" and this unique mis-spelt name has stuck :@ ...need to do something about that birth certificate though blink.gif

and thats my name :)

What does Bickram/Vikram/Bicram mean?

I know Its named after some Indian Raja agesss ago in whos era a calendar was invented or something. But there must be another meaning other than the name of a calendar? :@

My Story is abit boring buh we went Gurdwara and Guru Ji gave a M buh my Nani said it cant be an M cos her name begins with an M and it would cause conflicts. Shes supersitious :)

So then she made the Granthi ask Guru Ji again :@ and a H came out.

If we had stuck with the M i would have been called Mandeep :@

Buh thankfully Im a Harjinder :@ but people call me Harj or Harry! :@

    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
