Re: Choosing an Arabic name for yourself
in reply to a message by New_Chloe
I play the game in my head, if I married an Muslim man and /or moved to an Arabic speaking country, what name would I choose? My two favourite Arabic names are Safiya and Zakiyya although I'd spell it Zakiya. Apparently they both mean pure, I don't think I new that until just now.
I also like Shakira and Sharazad / Sherezade but I wouldn't use them. I've known a couple of Muslims called Razia which I quite like, but that doesn't seem to be in the database.

i am so glad
that someone else does this! I play the "if I married a man like this" game all the time. I'm really open minded about that kind of stuff, so I like pondering the choices.
Zakiyya is great!
