[Opinions] Re: Wafa
in reply to a message by Murasaki
I know, and am in-law-related to, several Middle Eastern people, and I've heard Wafa -not my favourute, either.
Also Wadad, don't like it, though I don't know the meaning, perhaps it's a nice one. And Daad...that's female too. Some of these names don't emigrate well.
However, I know an ex-Lebanese doctor named Chaiker-in Canada, he decided he'd be called "Chuck". Better to have left it alone, I think.
Edited for typo.
