These are different views of Sikhism. Is Sikhi a historical outgrowth with culture rooted in the surrounding areas with mix of languages and traditions?

Or is what we mean by "Sikh name" something derived from Gurbani rich in power words (vibration, shabad) and symbolic meaning which represent spiritual qualities? Does Sikhism have a Living Guru who points parents/Panj Piare by way of Hukam and custom of first letter to qualities specially designated for a particular person?

I suppose it all comes down to a matter of belief versus disbelief. Either you believe the Sikh naming custom is rooted in the reality of a Living Guru or you do not. Either you believe Gurbani is saturated with power from Gur-shabad, or you do not. And whatever you belief is will inform your understanding.
