    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    -Ferishta, 1560–1620

                Yalda is the longest night of the year. Mithra, the God of Sun was said to be born on this night. Mithra is also a common name amongst the Dari speaking Afghans of Afghanistan.

                  What do you guys think of Shuhda?

                  Do you guys take in consideration how the name might be pronounced by Westerners?

                    Sho probably...My parents wanted to name my younger sister Banna as in Lema Banna but they chose against it because of the way our non Pashtun relatives might pronounce it.

                      So your saying that when living in the west you have to be careful what name you choose.

                      Would you name your son Osama?

                        No because it doesn't bring a pleasant picture to my mind and I don't want my child to suffer as the result of my carelessness. not to mention, I don't even know what Osama means.

                          Yeah, I do. That's why if I wanna give my kids names with "kha" or "qaaf," I'm gonna make sure to give a "nickname" for them that they can be referred to at home with close family and friends.

                          But that's ONLY if the names I want for them are exceptionally beautiful to me and my husband and they contain letters that cannot be pronounced by all people.

                          To me, the meaning of the name is more important than anything else. If I don't know the meaning of a certain name, or if I discover it and there's a better word/name that can be pronounced more easily and sounds more appealing as well, then I'd prefer the latter to the former (examples escape my mind at the moment, but there are tons).

                          I like unique names. Names like "Muhammad" are SO common that every other Muslim male around here has that name. Not to mention, it sends chills down certain people's spines, so I would never name my son Muhammad for numerous reasons. And I'm leaning more towards having traditional Pashto names that have now become almost extinct in Pashtunkhwa!
