Unisex Names

Re: Unisex Names

All sikh names are unisexual, unless inspired by hindu name, like mine

Indeed, it was made to equalize the genders in Sikhi considering the women were most under privileged in entire sub-continent.

Kaur, I’m a bit curious about something. I was aware that Sikh names are typically unisex but are there some names that more commonly used for girls or boys?

The reason I ask this is that I’ve observed that certain names are most commonly used in one of the sexes. For example, all of the Jaspreets I’ve met are female and most Harminders I’ve met are male. Also, I have a female friend named Harminder and she commented that there have been occasions when she’s arrived for job interviews and the interviewer was surprised she’s female as he seems to have been expecting a guy.
