[Opinions] Re: Choosing an Arabic name for yourself
I would choose between these:
Farah - "joy", because I think it would suit me
Karam - "generosity", the closest I can come to my name (except for Lina). I'm not sure I like the sound of it, but it has a nice meaning and I think I would learn to listen to it easier than Farah
Lina - "palm tree" or "tender", my mother calls me Lina so it's a part of who I am already which is great. Not a big change though so it doesn't really represent the change I would go through converting to Islam.
I have a silver necklace with my name (phonetically correct) in Arabic letters that my sister had made for me when she lived in Jordan. I wore it when I visited her and once a woman saw it and read it out loud and she pronounced my name perfectly, which was both fun and surprising.
