What is the difference between getting a name picked by the Guru Granth Sahib and by your parents? Are there any advantages in either way?

Respected Sukhi Kaur Ji;
Thank you asking this question, This and many such questions are in the minds of many a Sikhs.
I am not aware of any such verse in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, that will address your question directly.
The activities like naming from the letter from Guru Granth Sahib is to keep one attached to the Bani of Sri Guru Granth Sahib in the hopes that someday one would read the Bani and benefit from its message. I am unaware of any direct benefit from such activities or rituals but indirectly if they can keep one attached to the Guru Granth Sahib and its message, that would be a benefit when one learns the message and adopts it in one’s life.
If you wish to get deeper understanding of the thought in a in person conversation mode
You might wish to join one of the Sikh Renaissance Zoom sessions. For details times and locations, and links to such zoom sessions please visit: https://globalsikhcouncil.org/sikhi-renaissance/
Hope this helps.
