Great choice of name by one of the best fast bowlers world has ever seen. So glad he didnt kept his name on invaders like Taimur etc. like Saif Ali have done before.

We are so proud of you Zak. A role model on and off the field.

So you want to name his kids. What is wrong with you guys. I fear for sanity

I don’t want to name his kids, of course — but if someone names their child after an invader who killed thousands of Hindus, then others retain the right to criticize that choice.

But these names existed before these guys you take "offence to". If invaders were so bad, why not ban the English language. They too were invaders and they have left their traces
 
Phew it's a nice name. I was worried he was going to name him Ram Kapoor sririnam Krishan.
 
God bless the child.
I’m not a fan of doing politics over a child’s name. Bless the child and move on brother
 
Taimur used to be such cutu baby. Said bhai taking him to cricket coaching , hope he turns out to be a good cricketer and makes his legendary grandfather proud. Tiger Pataudi was the hero to many men of the subcontinent before Imran, Gavaskar, Sachin, Virat.

Find it a bit of a mouthful personally, but I guess that's just because we are British. The automatic assumption is that he'd end up getting called Fatty for short...but then he's not living in the UK.

Impossible brother. Taimur can never play for Bharatiya cricket team. It will beat the purpose of nationalism in an international game. He can play in IPL though, especially in SRKs team Kolkata Knight Riders

From what I've head from my elders, Tiger was the first great captain from India.
 
FatehSingh sounds like a Sikh name.

A pretty secular name and a proud father to a beautiful child. Congrats Zack and Sagarika.

Haters can go to …..Parents are happy and that’s all it matters.👍😎

Tiger Pataudi played to win. Before him there was no belief to win. He despite his major eye handicap was a very very good batsman. People can’t tell today how seriously talented a batsman he was with one eye and i dare any top batsman today to bat with one eye and they will know what’s it like. Tiger bhai absolute chad bro. Allah SWT rest his soul brother 🙏🏻 Always my Skipper! 🇮🇳

Competition is tooooooo much today that’s the only thing against all these rich kids. No matter if their papa arranges practice at lord’s at the end of the day it’s all these poor kids roiling in the sun sweating for hours and hours trying to polish their skills against all odds, against all the pressures and tensions of a poor persons life.

On a lighter note,
A Muslim man married a Brahmin Hindu girl and they bargain a Sikh baby name. Haha

That’s my country for you all 🩷

everyone getting defensive about the name Taimur are funny.
Taimur is not even a Muslim name. It’s of Mongol origin. A pagan name.

May be our friends from Pakistan should know that Mongols were Shamans. They follow a cult very similar to Shivic cult.

Somehow Taimur became an Islamic name and all these people get defensive as though it is an attack on Islam.🙄

I think looking at how a child's name was so anticipated by you guys, I wonder if they are happy or you guys are happy.

So when a "Muslim" husband and a Hindu wife use their child’s name to showcase their "secular credentials," it's celebrated — but if a Muslim names their child "Muhammad," that’s suddenly seen as regressive and sectarian?

Regardless of the intention by the name, it makes no sense and neither sounds good but each to their own.
 
India has become a meme. :inti

This really should be a non-issue.

Instead of focusing on important things, they are focusing on Mughals and cows.

That is correct. As long as its a Hindu or Sikh or Christian name, it is fine with me. If you keep names like Taimur or Aurangazeb etc., Rajdeep will have a problem. And you must know how it goes when that happens.
