Ibtisam

This name is so awesome!

I am an Indian but born in Libya. My dad's friend suggested this name which sounded very different. Indeed a very unique name, that's what everyone tells me when people hear it.

To be a Somalian girl and have this name is a honour! The first day I was introduced to the world my mum said I was smiling as the sun greeted us in the morning. My oldest sister said her name shall be 'IBTISAM'. Like many others I love my name because it says a lot of my personality.

My parents gave me this name because when I was a baby I used to always look like I was smiling. It's a name to be proud of. I love it!
