Naxar Nugaaleed Posted June 21, 2013 man! bad advice abounds in this thread. Listen Somalee, what you name your child is hugely important. There is a whole freakonomics episode that you should really look into on how the name of applicants effects how they fair in the job market. Give your kid a african american name and you have damned your kid to an early, whats the word, howl-gab-nemo? Give him an Arabic name and you have guaranteed him constant and permanent "random checks" at airports and ports of entry which will probably give the kid life physiological issues and alienation. Give him a Somali name and you've handed him both on a silver platter. Exaggerations aside, play safe, go with something like Adam, Hanna, Sophia (Sophie if you wanna be hip). You hit all the right spots, career, English and arabic sounding name. All else fails, go the West African route and name the child names like goodluck, rejoice, godspeed, who can argue with names like that lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The real name of the prophet wasn't Ibrahim, that's the arabic version of his name. His real name was Abaarahiim, which translates to ''Father of mercy''. But Allah has mentioned him in the Qur'an as Ibrahim instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuune Posted June 21, 2013 ^^ Can you prove that he was called ABAARAHIIM, as you put it, why did Allah mentioned him as Ibrahim in the Quran, waiting for your answers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluelicious Posted June 21, 2013 The two most beloved names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdurahman. You can name your child whatever name you wish provided within the guidelines that Abbaas has posted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
warsamaale Posted June 21, 2013 I disagree, arabs claim descent through ishmael son of abraham but its fake and one of many fraudulent claims Arab make to make themselves look grand, they even claim the jewish temple and being descended from canaanites and jebusites.

Ur right considering that it was Ishmael who married into an Arab tribe from Yemen that had settled in modern day Saudi Arabia. But nonetheless, his descendents today form a large component of the Arab population of the said region. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haatu Posted June 21, 2013 Before you do anything drastic, just remember it's the kid that has to live with the name and not you. Name the kid some random white name and his Somali friends will take the piss and everyone back home. Name him a really strange Somali name, those white folks will constantly ask "how do you pronounce that". Give him an Arabic name and he/she just becomes another cliche. Go safe and go for Deeqow. I've always liked that name. If not, then Dalmar which means traveler is just as good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
somalee Posted June 21, 2013 Thank you all for your replies. I just wanted to know generally if Islam is against English/Western names. I hate Abdi names, unless its joined with a name of Allah that's rarely used, Abdelbaqy, Abdelqudus etc sounds exotic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
