Outdated / Out of Fashion names

I think it’s a full name. Muhammad boota. These days people want to go for modern Islamic names. Every one wants to be unique, have unique phones and the same thing applies to the names of children.

People are learning to rehash old names with a twist. “My friend Bootz is a cool cat. Though his parents would prefer to call him Muhammad Boota from Toba Tek Singh.” Crude example, but you get the idea.

We, as a community, go through fashion phases. Old does make a come back every now and then.

back in the days it was important for people what the name means. People cared about the *taseer *of the names. There was a concept of heavy names and light names etc. Meaning of the name really mattered to people. Now it just has to be cute.

i had an English professor at AligaRh Muslim University and his name was Dr. MK Lodhi. we always wondered what his initials stand for. one day we found that out and we laughed our heads off.

MK Lodhi = Munne KhaaN Lodhi

those types of names like Munne, Shabraati, Ramzaani etc have almost disappeared...although they do exist as NICKS/aliases.

I think the last person with Aara in her name will be Shamim Aara. Sadly she is on her death-bed and has been in a coma for months.

What does Aara mean ?

I think Aara relates to aarasta… same meaning of Zeenat. so Jahan Ara means jiski waja se kainaat main hai rung :cobra:

Re: Outdated / Out of Fashion names

Or what about adding "unissa" to the ends of names....My nana & nani named their 4 daughters:

Najamunissa Raffatunnisa Iffatunnisa Mehboobunissa

And then they all add "ghar ke naam" that they were called by everyone..lol...mighty confusing!

Zaibunisa
Shamsunisa
Qamrunisa

so many nisa.....

Other word that was part of old names 'Khatoon'. young girls with names like Jannat Khatoon (my nani's name) might have sounded like so old.

yeah…the root Faarsii word is aaraastan = saNwaarnaa..isii se alfaaz bane haiN aaraasta, aaraa’ish, aaraa
**
jahaaN aaraa = dunyaa saNwaarne waalaa/waali**

in alfaaz se dusre alfaaz banaane kaa ek tareeqa hai jo nihaayat aasaan hai.

Now I got what this Boota means... As Meer has said:

Patta patta boota boota haal hamara jaane hai........ Muhammad Boota seems equal to Gul Muhammad

Re: Outdated / Out of Fashion names

ji...:D

BTW ever heard names like Paikan Bi,Majan Bi... Bi as last name

Bi is short for BIBI...this last name is now used more like a title [Bibi = lady/sister....for Benzir Bhutto...as an example]...also it's used for older people like Bibi ammaaN, Bibi Khaala, baRii Bi etc
