Re: How to say my name in arabic
Probably Nee-kool, with slightly more emphasis on the first syllable.I can't type Arabic text in this box, but your dictionary might contain an Arabic alphabet chart. It would be spelt:noon-yeh-kaf-waw-lam.

I only spelt noon-yeh-kaf-waw-lam is the I and the A were long. More probably it would be noon-kaf-lam (the Arabic writting system is consonantic).

Good point. #1: I probably shouldn't post informational things after midnight.
#2: I thought about spelling it the way you said, only I wasn't sure how to explain the diacritical marks.
