What's in a Name?

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." is a famous line from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and is referenced so much that it is perhaps the most popular cliche, universally. On December 20th,2016 Kareena Kapoor gave birth to a baby boy and named him Taimur,after the 14th century conqueror Taimur. Since then, Kareena Kapoor and her husband, Saif Ali Khan have been bashed and trolled extensively on Twitter extensively with tweets like: 

 And then there are people who are giving ugly Hindu vs Muslim twist like:

And then there are people who mistake Taimur for Babur's son or some such, like the gentleman below who is referencing to god knows what: 

What's in a name? Really... Hitler, Stalin, Alexander, Akbar, Krishna Deva Raya, Shivaji, Chandragupta Maurya, everyone started/took part in or involved themselves in wars in some way or the other. The cause differed in each case but all these were conquerors in their own way. Hitler wanted world domination, so did Alexander. Stalin had his fair share of brutality. 

There are many people of different religions in our country who proudly name their child after Alexander (Sikandar is the Indianised name for Alexander). So is Kareena Kapoor's son's name itself that is making everyone freak out or is there some other aspect?

As per this logic, people shouldn't name their child a lot of things, like Mukesh (prime accused in the Nirbhaya rape case), Rajendra (the underworld gangster Chhota Rajan), Dawood (I need not explain this) and more. 

Nevertheless, they're just a couple who decided to name their child something. While I am not standing by them or supporting their choice of name, I am just saying the choice is theirs to make.

As an Indian, as someone who's read the constitution and studied the preamble of our constitution in school, I believe some freedoms should not be taken away from anyone. I close by quoting the preamble.

"WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN, SOCIALIST, SECULAR ,DEMOCRATIC, REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:

JUSTICE, social, economic and political;

LIBERTY of thought , expression, belief, faith and worship;

EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all;

FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;

IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION."
