[Opinions] Re: Arabic names
in reply to a message by Ivana
Aaliyah is my absolute favorite. Made popular by the singer, no doubt, but I don't hate it for that (as some people might).
I love Aisha, even though it's been made slightly "ghetto". Hell, I even like the bootleg spelling (Iesha). =P
I also love:
Fatima
Khadija
Manar
Farah
Iman
Jamillah
Laila
Malak
Rashida
Noor
Salma
Sana'
Zahra'
Nashira
Adhara
Naima
... I would use some of these, as well. I think they can translate.
Fu'ad
Bilal
Faisal
Faris
Idris
Ibrahim (preferred over Abraham, for sure)
Jibrael (^ditto^, for Gabriel)
Ka'im
Rais
Omar (only because of The Wire)
Tawfiq
Zaid
Malik is my #1. Tariq is a close second.
