Now a days it's hard to identify a person's religion from his or her name because there is a huge intermixing in names of various religions. for example, you will find hindu boys with name Shahid and girls as Zeenat... etc...
Acoording to me it's a small yet good step towards reducing religious disparity.
What is your opinion about this practice?

I also think its quite good to see intermixing of names in religions. Before you could easily tell ones religion from their name, but as Jessika said its now difficult to know what religion one is, and to be honest it doesnt matter what ones religion is, and it will only make things better and make relgions come together rather than go apart and create anger or fights.

I myself think that there is nothing wrong in intermixing in names, as i have named my kids in names which are used in another religion. My son's name is Armaan, and daughters name is Mehak.

At the end the day you name your kids whatever you want, depending on the community you live in or what your family is like you may have some objections, but that's on you how you want to take it, as some families like having the kids in their family to have traditional names.

I think that you should just pick a name that you want for your child and not let religions determine what your choices are. I just named my children names that my husband and I agreed upon.

I agree 100% with you Antk on this one. You like a name, use it. It shouldn't have anything to do with your religious beliefs or lack of.
I personally like family names.

as a mother myself, I have chosen the names for my children just be intuition. From a long list I have chosen that one which I believed best fitted my child. No concerns about religion or tradition there, just gut feeling or intuition.

I tend to agree with Antkmom. I believe the best thing to do is to pick the names you really like for your children. I have two daughters and when it was time to name them, my spouse and I decided to give them one first name each and we hyphenated the two names. This way, we were both happy with our choices and the girls got two beautiful names each.

I'm guilty of making assumptions based on names.. If I hear the name Yogendra, I think Hindu.. If I hear the name Ahmed I think Muslim.. Asher makes me think Jewish.

I think crossover names are just fine, but I don't know why you would want to.. I mean, I think it's nice to have names that mean something to you and reflect the religion culture of your family. That said, My husband informed me that if we have a boy he needs to be named Hussein after his father. I REALLY don't want to have to name my child Hussein, so let's hope I have only girls.

I think it can be very difficult to not, at least to a POINT make some sort of assumption on what someone will look like, or be like by the sound of their name. I think it's a great thing, though to have people with names that come from various religions and things of that nature.

I am really hoping that one day everyone will be everything and there won't be this, 'she/he's black', 'she/he's white' kind of thinking. I'm really hoping one day that we can all be okay with intermixing. That would be such an amazing world.

I mean, there is SO much going on in the world, why should we worry about things that just don't matter. I hope one day everyone will be treated equally.

Its truly correct to forget to think about what others may think, and forget about that is a Hindu name, Sikh name, Muslim name, Christan name and just name your child what you like

I cousin wanted to name her daughter Sabina, but she was told by her in laws no as its a Muslim name, and I told her she should have named her what she wanted and if it was Sabina then she should have gone ahead with it. Her husband had no problems with it, and at the end of the day is their own child. There is no law saying that certain names are only to be used by specific religions.

I am glad with the intermixing of names. It will keep someone from identify or judge another's religion or faith by her name. I hate someone inquiring my religion

Intermixing names is very good idea and can bring religions together with the names and there won't be any fights within the people, one of my hubby's friend's name is "Vikram Ali Benher" in which 3 religions are mixed, and he is christian by birth, i really appreciate that good job.
As i'm christian & my hubby is hindu we named our son according to our society, that is Bharath, which means Indian.

I think it's a good thing towards making people more tolerant of one another and their respective religions, but people must also consider the meaning behind these names and make sure that the meanings don't conflict with their own religious beliefs.

its a good development i should say that people of today are really moving up for the new generation thing of which our teens of today are practicing..there's nothing wrong with it i guess..
