no shikra mean ******

Shikra · May 28, 2008, 11:12pm

Yes (kind of). The actual Urdu word for Falcon is "Shaheen" but that sounds like a girl's name and that's why I didn't choose that. Shikra (urdu word) is called a "Hawk" in English. I guess some people use this word for Falcon as well.

Yup, that was the reason

ur urdu sucks!!!

^ Phir aap hi bata dein Shikra ko Urdu mein kia kahtey hain, janab-e-mohtaram Allama Iqbal sahab.

I didn’t read the entire thread
Like I said, due to my reason, I didn’t even bother checking to see if Shaheen was available. I tried Falcon and it was taken. As soon as I thought of Shaheen, I shook my head and moved on to Shikra.

Re: Story behind your nick/avatar.

shikra means hawk

and shaheen doesnt sound girlish its different thing that its usually sum girls name but if u see it in grammer its actually a word used for males not females

like sum ppl name girls im tiaz or iqbal or naveed

but they r all words that r used for men

Shikra ko urdu mian Shikra kehtay hain

Yaar itna serious naa ho jaaya kar , I was joking about Shaheen part

Shikra · May 28, 2008, 11:24pm

What you said may be true, but every time I heard the name Shaheen, it turned out to be a girl’s name. Who cares, I found it girly, I went with Shikra. End of the story.

Shikra · May 28, 2008, 11:25pm

I meant English

AQ · May 28, 2008, 11:38pm

I did not choose the other name becaues it is close to the bird known as Vulture. That's my reasoning. Simple.
