I've never heard the name Shubman before ?

It's Shubman Gill obviously and i too had issues at start i thought it's Shubham but then took while for me to realize it's Shubman.

Err ok. Have you heard that name before ? I suppose Subh-man can work...but i've never heard that before.

Ok Sadneep.

What's the confusion. It's so simple.  His name is Shubman. Nothing rocket science.

thin-skinned ? Dude it was a joke.....

i quite literally spelled your name in a dyslexic way, which is how Shubman reads ( dyslexic version of Shubham)....

relax yaar...i am checking because i don't know of it personally - isnt that any rational, moderate person supposed to do ??

Shubman is actually a pretty common north indian name

Even i felt the same. 

 

"Shubman" is a bit awkward.

 

But then maybe people do name their kids that way and it's me who is unaware.

Thats why i am checking !!! It wont be the first time Cricinfo has screwed up a name. Hence my query.

I used to think it was pronounced Shubmaan (auspicious person); just realized last week (while watching this video) that it is Shubman (auspicious mind).  Pretty cool name.  

 

I really liked the name Prayas (as in Prayas Barman) too.  We don't honor effort enough in our society.

It's a very common name in Sikhs and a word that is repeated in one of the Sikh prayers. Shub+man (Pure/auspicious+mind).

That is surname, 'Mann' in jatts. Gurkeerat Mann belongs to that community of jatts.
