Re: Would you reject a rishta just because of your dis-likeness for his/her "Name"
I met a person named Masaail (problems) Khan. But if you go in some rural areas in Pakistan, they have Samandar Khan, Pakistan Khan, January bibi whose sister is February bibi....etc.
My mami's name was same as my mothers so my mamoon asked during the rishta process if she will be ok changing her name....she said yes
I think January is a good name just like we have names like April and June.
Re: Would you reject a rishta just because of your dis-likeness for his/her "Name"
A person's name shouldn't matter but I have to admit I wouldn't have married a guy called Mahboob..
Obviously not right to ask someone to change their name tho, if I really didn't like or felt uncomfortable with a potential's name that would have been my problem and I would have just moved onto someone else.. There aren't many names that bother me and I don't have a problem with unusual names in themselves (I actually like names like january or autumn lol), just ones that sounds dirty (or like some sort of insult) and would just be too much hassle on a daily basis.. Hmmmm, I guess if the guy is 'the one' + perfect in every other way tho and it's just a dodgy last name a girl could just stick with her maiden one then it's only half as bad :D

Haii. There is no end to the wants we have for our ideal partner, i do wish he comes with a nice name BUT would i reject a good rishta just because he is called rasheed? shaukat? whatever? Ofcourse not unless i have lost my brain or don't want to get married :).
Irrespective of one’s interest in a rishta, it is always good to humbly request people to replace a bad name with a good one. If a stranger had advised me to change my name (if it had a bad meaning), I would have been thankful to him for his guidance and brining my attention to it. Doesn’t matter what his relation is with me.

The one with bad meanings. Please check the link I provided in my previous post. I heard it from scholars that a name with good meanings does have a good influence (in a certain way) on the child.

OMG that is too funny ... this would be valuable information for any Mahboobs out there ... if you wanna get married change your name before you introduce yourself !!!
Sort of like conjured up a dialogue in the surgey office:
Receptionist: What are your names?
Deeba1234: I'm Deeba and this here is Mahboob
Receptionist: Your boob?
Re: Would you reject a rishta just because of your dis-likeness for his/her “Name”
I have a co-worker who’s first name is Mahboob. He is from Bangladesh. I did not ask him what it means in Bangla language, but I told him what it means in Urdu. He was smiling ear to year. I do not use his first name I use his last name when I have to address him. I told him jokingly that I do not come across as gay by calling him Mahboob.
I should ask him what Mahboob means in Bangla language. It might means something entirely different than Urdu.
