Randip, I like your name too. But for those of us who are not Panjabi or Indian, what is the way foward for global sikhs?
In a way I love the innovation of Kevinjit! Kevin is Irish really Caoimhin for 'beautiful, handsome' with the panjabi ending. So it works very well. My first name is Courtney, a common American name. It's just like 'Darbar' so why change it?
It is my middle name Sarah - hebrew for 'princess' that was my Jewish religious name. And yes, that I wouldn't keep. [well Kanwar is really the same]
So is there anything wrong with 'Courtney Kaur'? I won't be taking amrit for a year or two, but from my reading Guru Gobind Singh didn't change the first names of the panj piaras.
