[Opinions] Re: Arabic names
in reply to a message by lusia
I really like Arabic names too!!
My favorite names for girls are Rasmiyah, Aminah (like Ah-mih-nuh), Ameenah, Amal, Jannah, Amani, Fatima, Jinan, Muna, Rajiya, Jenin, Ranya, Tasnim (though, i prefer Tasneem), Yasmeen, Zohra.
For boys, I like Adnan, Jibril, Ibrahim, Jalal, Jinan, Kadir, Mustafa, Omar, Rafiq, Sa'eed, Tahir, Yakub, Zain.
There's a thousand different spellings for each of these, since Arabic isn't in the same script as English (i.e. Rasmiyah, Rasmia, Rasmiya; Said, Sa'id, Saeed, Sa'eed; and so on), so if you don't like a spelling, you can change it as long as it doesn't alter the pronunciation and it won't be out of place (like if you were to spell Courtney Kortnee).
