Respectful names for boys and girls

I heard in a Katha once about the origin of the words for 'boy' and 'girl' in Punjabi.

If referring to (Keshdhari) boys we should not say 'munda' as this means 'cut hair'.

Also, 'kuri' comes from 'kura' (rubbish/trash). 

Please, do not divulge and say that there are lots of monay and girls who are Sikh just in name, but please use this thread to raise awareness.

This is precisely why saahib e kamaal guru sahib gave women respectful laqab of "kaur" meaning princess. Shes daughter of dashmesh pita, not kooda. 

But m sure punjabis will believe otherwise lol
