Help[Opinions] Re: Fatima
in reply to a message by )(
Not a fan of the name. I realize it’s a popular name in Arabic but there are other Arabic names with a more pleasant sound. I’ve never known anyone named Fatima. Does anyone know what is the correct Arabic pronunciation? I’ve heard it as FAH tim uh, FAT im uh and Fah TEEM uh?

FA-tee-mah
I've only ever heard it said with a short "im", not TEE, but that could be regional.
FAH-tim-ah
FAH-tim-ah
That's the same isn't it? The emphasis is still on the first syllable
