Pakistani Names?! DIIS SHIIIT CONFUSE ME?!

[Kalasha]

Boooom! (hi...) Sooo as you can see I want to talk about THA Topic ---> Pakistani Names?! (woohoo...). First of all... Pakistani MOSTLYY uses arabic/islamic names (why only these...) and not their own (YEAH own names exist). In maa case I don't have an islamic name nor ANY of my family. We have Punjabi, Himalayan, Sanskrit, Pali and Chinese names instead. Is it so important or BETTER to have an islamic name, that you never use other names?! I mean names should not have necessarily to do with religion. Me for example don't care.... My kids won't get islamic names, because for me it doesn't make any difference. I'm still muslim and exercise/practise my faith. If you ask me all Indian names are also Pakistani names at the same time, because these countries were one for a SHIT TON OF TIME. In addition the religion and of the Indus civilization was the pre-form of Hinduism. Also all the other things there, for example the Names. Punjabi names are also Pakistani names (my opinion), because Punjab has been influenced by Sikhs for a very long time. Same for North Pakistan, which has been influenced by Tibetan, Buddhist and Chinese people. So normally Pakistani names are very diversed. Tons of Names of different origins could be used (which should be allowed?!). I mean Pakistani also use Iranian names, WHICH are also not muslim names. They originated from Zoroastrianism.... It doesn't even make a bit sense?! Pakistani always tell me that they have more to do with Iran originally, which is BULLLSHITOOO. They have MUCH more similarities with India and other South Asian countries. So it's the same for me if a Pakistani use a Sanskrit name, Iranian name, Tibetan, Chinese or what else.... So I have a Chinese name. Pakistani don't care. They love China so they would mostly say that it is a good name. BUT if a Pakistani has a Sanskrit/Pali/Punjabi name they are pissed off immediately (I really had bad experience with that muhahahahaha!!). My brother and sisters spoke with some Pakistanis and told them their name. After that the mentioned szenario happened. SOOOO tell me YAAA opinion?!

The Indonesians, to some extent, the Bangladeshis, too, use the old cultural names, and they don't seem to have a problem practising their religion.

And a more striking set, this time from Indonesia:

Sanskrit-derived names[edit]
Indonesians regardless of personal religion, particularly the Javanese, Sundanese and Balinese may have names strongly derived from Sanskrit. This is because Hindu mythologies are seen as part of Indonesian culture, not only a part of religion. As a result, it is common to find Muslim or Christian Indonesians with Hindu sounding names. Unlike Sanskrit-derived names in Thai and Khmer, the pronunciation of such names in either Javanese or Indonesian is similar to the original Indian pronunciation, except that the "v" is changed to a "w".

Some common names derived from Sanskrit and using the names of Indian Hindu gods or heroes include Indra, Krisna, Wisnu, Surya, Dharma, Rama, Lesmana, Sudarto (Javanese for Siddharta), Dewi, Pertiwi, Sri, Sinta, Ratna, Paramitha, and Kumala[disambiguation needed].

For example, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, former Indonesian president, has a Sanskrit-derived name. "Susilo" comes from sushila meaning "good character" and "Yudhoyono" comes form yudha meaning "war" or "battle" and yana meaning "an epic story". Sukarno is derived from the Sanskrit su (good) and karno or Karna (a warrior) in Mahabharata.

Some of these Sanskrit-derived names might be used by ningrat or menak (noble) families, especially among Javanese and Sundanese, in much the same way as some family names in western culture indicate lineage and nobility. Some such names are Adiningrat, Notonegoro, Suryasumantri, Dharmokusumo, Wongsoatmodjo, Natalegawa, Kusumaatmadja, Kartadibrata, Kartapranata and Kartasasmita.

In the case of the Indonesian foreign minister, Marty Natalegawa, "Marty" is his first name, indicating his birth in March. "Natalegawa" is his family name, which indicates that he is from a Sundanese noble family.

Many Indonesians use Sanskrit-derived names to indicate their position among siblings (birth order). The first-born child might bear the name Eka or Eko (mostly Javanese), the second-born child might be named Dwi, the third-born Tri, the fourth-born Catur, and the fifth-born Panca or Ponco (usually Javanese). Some examples are Eko Yuli Irawan, Rizky Dwi Ramadhana, Triyaningsih, and Catur Pamungkas.
