Baby names for girls

[Guest Mothertobe]

Hi

does anyone have any girls baby name recommendations, i'm looking for something western but happens to also have meaning, not necessarily the normal names we hear like bani, keerath etc..... a modern western name which is in bani. 

Thanks

I'm not sure there are mamy western names in bani, though the word Adam is in Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. And even if there was none would be modern. If you must you could give him a western middle name, or a second first name with westen thoughts, here is a website with a list of names just related to the word God, https://www.behindthename.com/names/meaning/god,gods,goddess,lord,yahweh

Bro, how many girls have you met with the name Adam? What websites have you been visiting? ?

OP: There's tonnes of great Gurmukhi words that would sound great as names in a western context. But a part of me says it's superficial posturing and using our sacred scriptures as a cheap naming device for children that rarely grow up to embody the ideals of their Gurbani-derived names, but another part of me says it's quite heartening you're at least bothering to seek a name that originates from Gurbani. Whatever you do, ensure the definition of the name you eventually choose is suitable. You don't want to name a kid after a word that means something hilariously unsuitable, lol. Or maybe you do. Might be a laugh.

The only other western name in Gurbani is Satan

If she was trying to find a name with Gurbani reference and that sounds ok by western standard, I'd choose Tupak Kaur, (Tupak meaning gun).

sis 

why are you abandoning your own rich culture to saddle your beautiful girl  with a non-unique non-sikh name , if it's just to avoid mistaken pronounciation , there is no way you can avoid people being nasty on purpose just by picking a european name ;they will mangle it anyway. 

Sikh names are deep and have meaning , do some research 

BTW it's keertan not keerat

My daughter has a Sikh first name then a western second name (her father is western descent) and she prefers her Sikh name ...
