Good question. Even I used to stay away from such names... but then look at other simple names - gurcharan, gurbachan, jas etc... many of our names are part of Gurbani. If one ponders over the meaning of those simple or perhaps outdated(!) names, there is such a deep meaning. If one is going to respect the name of his/her own... then by all means, I go for this. But if name is Waheguru Singh, and the guy is showing no signs of sikhi, then such situations make me think twice abt naming a kid. So well, for me, it is a personal choice and ability to respect a name and take that as a reminder for ourselves. By the way, my daughter's name is Japji. Regards.
