Og girl and stpaul..... these are best names a somali woman could get in the old days, before we became obsessed with arabic names or city names like Barliin, Istanbul etc..or starling

 

 

Malaika I am glad that your name has appeared on the list:) You hit the jackpot smile.gif

 

Run-away virgin...Fiido or Fiidaay =born during the evening.

 

Fartuun is not a somali name. It comes from the Italian word Fartuno=luck bono fartuno signorina redface.gif
