Blessed Posted May 14, 2011 ^Not many nice names for girls and the nice ones are way too common. Both my girls have Arabic names. No need to apologies, Aida. I just don't think many people here know Ethiopian names. Add.. Kenadiid, Keynaan, Libaan and Magan (I love this name) to the boys names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
