Ha ha...

That’s true of the PPP...they seem to name their children after famous Marxist people...Ramotar’s son also had a Russian name...cant remember what it was...Vladimir or something.

what a bunch of confused misguided people....

Why couldn’t they have normal names like Mars, Bibi, Nehru and Moses?

My son is named after a Palestinian legend.

Besides the names mentioned above, some other PPP chirren names: Alexei, Lisavita, Maxim.

Parents usually name their babies after people they admire. Names like Rohan [after Kanhai], Shawn [after Sean Connery], Babita [after a Bollywood star], Imran [after cricketer Imran Khan], Allan [after cowboy actor Allan Ladd] etc. 

Naturally, up to 1990 people in the PPP had admired certain Russian, Cuban and other socialist/progressive personalities. Ranji Chandisingh named his son Yuri [after the spaceman Gagarin] and Brindley Benn named his son Robeson [after the Afro-American communist Paul Robeson].

That is their right.

Thankfully my kids have very meaningful and beautiful Muslim names. Obviously one of the names of my son is Muhammad, my hero.

All my kids have WEstern names. Many years ago a Pandit came to do a Jhandi at my home and when I gave him the names he asked me why I did not give them Hindu names. I told him when in Rome do as the Romans do. I am sure he did not appreciate the answer but I am a practical person. A name does not stop anyone from worshiping  Gods/ Goddesses of your choice. A name does not make you less of a person, what matters is your actions, words, behavior and service to humanity!!!!

Nah...they should stick to their cultural names...this only confuses the kids and it moves them further away from their natural heritage. Imagine a kid with a name like ALEXI and VLADIMIR going to a Hindu or Buddhist temple trying to fit in, and then telling people they are Hindus and Buddhist with those names. Its unnatural. It was also the European motive to get people to change their names...KUNTA KINTE became Chicken George.

These people have been culturally and mentally imperialized...the sad thing is that they do not realize this.

Dem people should be like Kazma...he proud to name his son after the prophet. No confusion there.

As a dougla the Indian part of my family culture is emphasized more...so i know more about the Indian heritage, but i am still trying to learn about others.

Some people adopt western names as call names in America, but they still maintain their Hindu names...nothing wrong with this either.

I am Muslim and my wife is Hindu. My son's first name is Hindu and I named him after my father for his middle name.

Great, you covered all bases. And that is my point, everyone has a right to do as they please. I do not see any issues with names quite frankly.

It all depends on the reason for breaking with tradition and whether it's just with naming. We recently went to a birthday party for a 4 year old. The kids were all Jonathan, Christian, Ashley etc. As you said, it's just a name and it's their right to name their children whatever they wish. The problem is, some of them do it to make their children more "American". I will never forget where I came from. Forget your roots and you lose your identity.

I don’t disagree with you for as the saying goes “a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet”. While nothing is wrong with any particular name, maintaining a name that identifies us culturally may still be the easiest thing to do. This can go a far way to preserve our identity and culture through our kids. I liked the idea of my kids having beautiful and meaningful Muslim names. However, I don’t support names that are difficult to pronounce because that can cause others to struggle pronouncing them.

You can disagree, I do not think there is a right/wrong way.

POLITICAL MOBILITY
With both President Granger and I being temporarily out of the jurisdiction, I also wish to congratulate my colleagues, Carl Greenidge and Khemraj Ramjattan, on their appointments to perform the functions of the offices of President and prime minister, respectively.

 Imagine that, Guyana is presently run by two retards. Moses also stated he was travelling across Iowa admiring the scenery. maybe he is waiting for his American visa.

Very early in their careers, Students in a medical school are taught,  that word is taboo. They are asked to consider that if  "Retards"  were not allowed to have kids, they never would have been born.
