[Opinions] Re: Habiba
I had an Egyptian friend in school who was called this, and she was such a vibrant, energetic person that the name has the same vibe for me. Very pretty both written and said aloud. I've heard Arabic-speaking people call their children "habibi" (as it means darling or similar) and I can't tell if that would be confusing or lovely if one was a native Arabic speaker with this name.

I was thinking of that, also “habibi” seems a very random and common way of addressing people you know, like “kid” or “man”?It sounds a bit like literally naming someone “Darling.”
