Whats a good name for a baby thats sikh punjabi.. but also not so overbearingly sikh that it will offend Hindu grandparents. I am having a hard time finding a name that is fitting for my child (girl) but does not offend her parents too much.

You're probably thinking what a unhelpful reply and why it wasn't serious reply!

What do you expect! You have come before proud members of the Sikh community and asked for advice on baby names that wouldn't offend someone from the Hindu community. Yet you have offended the Sikh community in the process by doing this!

If you find being a Sikh so offensive to Hindu community and you don't want to hurt their sentiments then you should go one step further!

" Leave the Panth and become a Hindu"!

Thanks Guest!

Tigerforce, I understand why you feel that way... but if it is possible to give a child a good sikh name, that also does not ostracize him from his grandparents... why shouldn't I be interested in that? Their daughter did become a sikh... and their grandchildren will have singh/kaur in their names, so I don't see how this is offensive to the sikh community. They are good people and great parents and if I can avoid hurting their feelings I would prefer it.

to the original poster,

if the parents are ok with their daughter becoming a sikh, i dont think it would a big problem for the grandchildren to have a proper sikh name, name or not i dont believe it will stop them from loving their daughter or their grandchild any less. Its just a name they relationship you keep is what matters.

hope this helped :)

If you are a Sikh and consider her a Sikh then you should take a hukamnama and give her the name according to that if that's what you believe in. Ultimately you are the parents (you and your wife). I'm not saying go against the grandparents, just don't use them as the final word and control you guys.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
