There are alot of thing you dont get. That wasn't a joke, but a true fact. Xaaji is a Soomali, and its very popular among Somalis. And so is, Wardi. Pure Soomali names. Lets hope you get that now.

SHAKA ZULU Posted August 19, 2003 yes i would say MUHAMMAD too followed by ABDI.... the majority muslim ppl i know are named one of the two names i have mentioned above and i wont be surprised as they are both wonderful names and we all know what they mean to MUSLIMS. unfortunately i cant give those two names to my sons as my name and my fathers's are one of the two so tough luck for me.

NIN_NOOL Posted August 19, 2003 NIN YAABAN! YOURE RIGHT BRO THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I DONT GET, I AM IN A JOURNEY OF LEARNING AND I BELIEVE WE ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER SO BE PATIENT WITH ME. YOU SAID. The most popular Soomali name is, Ina Xaaji wardi. XAJI NORMALY GOES IN FRONT OF ANOTHER NAME AND IS USED FOR PEOPLE WHO HEVE BEEN TO XAJ, HOW MANY OF THEM DO YOU KNOW. WARDI IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL NAME NO DOUBT,BUT NOT THE MOST POPULAR SOMALI NAME. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abdinuur Posted August 20, 2003 I think the name Omar is also a popular one. I've seen three Mexican dudes, two Somali dudes, One Arab dude, an African dude....all named Omar...I was like...is this a joke?...dang!!! And...they were attending in the SAME school...now you tell...!... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuCkY Posted August 20, 2003 Yeah i wouLd say Mohamed/Muhammad however you speLL it wouLd be the top pick for somaLi(if not the majority of the musLim nations) maLe names-very popuLar and very beautifuL as weLL. Then the Abdi so and so wouLd foLLow. Diamond Princess i agree-you wouLdnt beLieve how many Ayans i encounter and know...i mean even when i was LittLe most of our neighbors girLs were named Ayan-taLk about weird coincidence! Kaafi i have seen severaL Omars but i wouLdnt know if its one top/popuLar maLe name-it couLd be though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
