Wheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Wheguru Ji ke Fateh

Can you tell me when choosing the a name for a new born how to the tell the difference between Sikh and Hindu names. I have looked at some name and they look Hindu but see that Sikhs have this name too how do you tell the difference

Sikh names usually have a meaning according to gurmat....

for example someone's name maybe Gurmukh which means a person who keeps their muk(face) towards the Guru (Gur). you could also link this name to Guru Gobind Singh ji who said "Khalsa mero roop hai khas" so if your living a gursikhi jeevan then you have the Gurus (Gur) face(Mukh) :waheguru:

anyway easy clue is that a typical Sikh name will either end in deep, preet ,jeet, vir, inder or pal! and probably start with, Gur, Har, Man, Jas, sukh.... :lol:

However i alreday know Sikh names have Gur Har Jas in them

I am looking for answers such as which names Sikhs cant have which should we avoid so it dont look Hindu, but Sikhs have the name Ram Singh Hindus have names like Ranjit WHAT IS THE RULE.

There isnt a rule. Some names are hindu names and some are sikh. Simple as. Its like u have some that are muslim names, some jewish and some christian. The name has some sort of relation to the religion.

These days, alot of people are going for short mixed names eg. Priya, riya, maya, aron, jay...etc. but what is the meaning of these names? A name is a persons identity. Its a massive thing. Unfortunately we just want something thats short so goray can say it with ease (how lame) and it should sound nice (who cares what it means).

The kids gunna grow up and ask his/her parents what his/her name means...thats gunna be awkward huh? Well kaka, it means jack all.

If you have any names in mind, do share

well i will name all my kids after warriors of world history, so when it comes 2 regarding the kids names, u can tell em, ur named after a famous yodha (warrior), which is always a great thing to tell goreh/non-sikhs.

Well wat wud b the point in just naming them after sikh warrior names, wen really thats my whole point of being bit different with kids names?

Thing is, sikhs have alot of names which dont even have anyfink 2 do with sikh dharam. Names like alamghir, iqbal, tanvir, ram, even hanuman r names that come frm other faiths, yet they r acceptable, so y not names of famous non-sikh warriors?

Names such as sikander (alexander), kamal (kamal mustafa attaturk), jujhar (sahibzada) r the 3 names that i was thinkin of. Even hari (nalwa). Obviously every name has to be taken into special consideration, i mean if an apna names their kid joshua/muhammed/moses/joseph/hailie/mazda etc then that wud be takin it too far.

Wat do u say?
