[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 125597, member: 35"] Welcome bhaikhalsasingh ji What you are asking is not typical of how a Sikh baby is named. The Sikh Rehat Maryada has laid this out in Chapter 11, section a. And I have copied it below for you. [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica][B][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3]Chapter 11[/SIZE][/FONT][/B][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3]Ceremonies pertaining to Birth and Naming of Child[/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3] Article XVII [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT] [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Trebuchet MS][SIZE=3](a) In a Sikh’s household, as soon after the birth of a child as the mother becomes capable of moving about and taking bath (irrespective of the number of days which that takes), the family and relatives should go to a gurdwara with Karah Parshad (sacred pudding) or get Karah Parshad made in the gurdwara and recite in the holy presence of the Guru Granth Sahib such hymns as “parmeshar ditta banna” (Sorath M. 5), “Satguru sache dia bhej” (Asa M. 5)) that are expressive of joy and thankfulness. Thereafter if a reading of the holy Guru Granth Sahib had been taken up, that should be concluded. Then the holy Hukam (command) should be taken. A name starting with the first letter of the hymn of the Hukam (command) should be proposed by the granthi (man in attendance of the holy book) and, after its acceptance by the congregation, the name should be announced by him.
