Meaning of my name

SO it came to pass that I decided that I would try to find the meaning (literal and spiritual) of my given name. So search the internet I did and came up with three interpretations, the first two of which are based on my religion (Sikhism) while the the last one is from Jewish Kabbalah thinking.

The first one is the simplest and it goes something like this ..
Har means God's name; a God who is loving and courageous. Simrit is the effortless repetition of God's name with each breath.

The second one is a tad more expressive and it goes something like this ..
Harsimrit Singh, which means the kind, loving and creative Lion who remembers Gods Name with his every breath, and walks with grace and courage throughout his life. Har means God. Har is a Name of God. The energy of Har is loving, kind, creative and prosperous. Simrit means one who repeats the Name of God with every breath; Gods praises. Singh means the Lion of God who walks with grace and courage throughout his life.

The third one is from is from the http://www.kabalarians.com/ way of life and is more details and in depth..

While the name Harsimrit creates the urge to be creative, independent and original, we point out that it limits self-expression and friendly congeniality with a tendency to be moody. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses heart, lungs, bronchial area, and tension or accidents to the head.

The name of Harsimrit gives you a very individual, reserved, serious nature. You stick stubbornly to your ideas or decisions, in spite of any appeals or advice; you are not willing to accept a compromise. You prefer to be alone with your own thoughts, rather than in the company of others. This name restricts spontaneity in association and the fluency of your verbal expression. When you are required to express yourself in personal matters requiring finesse and diplomacy, you feel awkward and embarrassed. Although you realize perfectly well what is expected of you, you are unable to find the right words, and hence you end up saying something inappropriate in a candid way. You can express your deeper thoughts and feelings best through writing. Your friendships and personal associations are rather restricted, being limited to those of a similar nature who can understand and accept your rather straightforward yet reserved manner. You are steadfast and loyal, and do not allow gossip or anything belittling to be said against those whom you accept in friendship. You find satisfaction in being outdoors or in getting out into nature, or in dealing with the products of the earth. There is originality and depth of thought contained in this name, particularly along practical and mathematical lines. This name can adversely affect the health of your respiratory organs, the heart and lungs. Also, you are prone to suffer from weaknesses centering in the head.

There is lot i agree but definitely not the last line -:))
