Arabic Family
As I came across my friend Jessenia Mohammed's family, I didn't think that their names were all arabic until she told me at her sleepover party last night the complete names...heres her Arabic Family(Lives in Canada, Jessenia was born in Saudi-Arabia and her whole family moved to Canada when she was only 1...)Dad: Anass Munir Mohammed
Mom: Amira Leilah Mohammed
Son: Jabril Munir Mohammed (17 years old)
Daughter: Jessenia Khalilah Mohammed (12 years old)
Daughter: Khadija Surayya Mohammed (11 years old)
Daughter: Zaira Shakira Mohammed (9 years old)
Son: Tarek Parvin Mohammed (4 years old)
Another is on the way...!
The Mohammed Family has a custom that each child gets to name a child but the last child instead of choosing another childs name, they get to choose their middle name when they are older-thats what Jessa's mom told me!
But Since Jessa's sister Khadija Surayya was born even in the same year as Jessa that Jessa didn't even know how to talk. So since she never got to name a child yet, she gets to name the child, only one thing...she needs suggestions and she wants it to be some kind of Arabic or English or some name thats sort of like Arabic names, that would go into her family nice and something for both genders. Anyways so she has no idea what to call the baby, I suggested Sarai Zinaida Mohammed and Tamid Shaelomeh (Came originally from Shalom, pronounced Shay, lum, ay)...wdyt?Thx, Seija R and Jessa M.

Gorgeous names, esp. Jessenia (and I love nn Jessa), Amira, and Zaira. But her dad's name is Anass (as ass)? Poor guy.

I know, poor guy, but in Arabic it doesn't have the same meaning so theres not really a problem with it since he grew up in Saudi-Arabia-is way better there than in being teased in America!

The names you suggested are really cool. I don't know how well this workes, but an idea for a girl might be Rawiya Amira. That's the name of a character in one of my novels that's set in Ancient Egypt - or at least, Rawiya is the name of Amira's reincarnation. A nice one for a boy might be Wahim or Qasim, I can't really think of a middle name.Best of luck and let us know what happens!Laura
