masculine & feminine arabic names

[Yusef Yahya]

Did u ever think of using arabic name for the new babe? if u think it is okay,which two names(male & female) in the list-my signature- u will choose? why?
as for me(even i'm not married yet) :
Male-->Youssef, Yusef, Yusuf(pbuh) - To increase (in power and influence); a Prophet's name (Joseph)... why choosed?:easy to spell,a famous prophet name,comon & liked in our socity & not used much as many names..

Female--> Daliyah - Grape vine .. why choosed? ,,it is near in spelling to the name : Dalal(Treated or touched in a kind and loving way), 3 letters in it r same letters in my name(Aadel).."Adel, 'Adil - Just".. Daliyah also for its nice meaning..& little comon used in our Gulfic socities..( vine grapevine )
that's all. :)

[dammit]

Why do names have to have meanings... surely people don't choose names for their meanings.. they just like the sound of them?

I believe there are more cultures that choose names by meanings than not.

[Snurfen]

Thanks Yusef for trying. My name is actually Ann Marie (it's not one word).

Ann:

From the Hebrew name חַנָּה (Channah) which meant "favour" or "grace". Hannah was the mother of Samuel the prophet in the Old Testament. The Latin version of this name is Anna.

[Yusef Yahya]

My name is actually Ann Marie (it's not one word).
I know an american freind called:Anne
which meant "favour" or "grace"i found:
Hibat Allah - Gift of God
Lutfiyah - Delicate, graceful
Minnah - Kindness, grace, blessing
Rida - Favored by God
--
is "Channah" a comon(used) name today? if so,where?

[AnnMarie]

is "Channah" a comon(used) name today? if so,where?

I am not sure Yusef but if it is,

From the Hebrew name חַנָּה (Channah) which meant "favour" or "grace".

Israel?

[Yusef Yahya]

Israel?
hmm,what is the q eaxtly?

[AnnMarie]

I thought you were asking me Yusef but let's not go there ok.

If I had to pick my Arabic name I think I would prefer Rida. :)

Rida Marie Scrimshaw has a "ring" to it. :)

[DELTREE]

Names like:Yufa'fajg,and Yuasldknf, and Adikngvkfj.NO!
I like names like;Girls names: Mary,Kim and Barb etc.
Boys names like;John,Joe,Tony etc.
Did you ever think about names out of the BIble for your children??http://bestsmileys.com/christmas1/2.gif
I hope you had a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Why do names have to have meanings... surely people don't choose names for their meanings.. they just like the sound of them?I thought the trick was to name your kid so it doesn't rhyme with an insult or bodily function?

[Snurfen]

LOL, I'm really lucky, cos nothing in the playground could possibly rhyme with "Martyn" :eek:

[AnnMarie]

Haha, you are lucky I wasnt one of those kids at your school Snurfen. I can think of a rude word for a bodily function that "Martyn" rhymes with. :D

[zipulrich]

...and your last name, Snurfen? Forgetaboutitt!!!!!!! :rotflmao:

[Snurfen]

Indeed Annie, and it wasn't anything to do with the way you can combe your hair.

[AnnMarie]

Nope. :D

[Snurfen]

:eek:

not so much but more common variants are Hannah, Anna and Anne. these are used quite commonly in most of the western world.

DELTREE - Why would a Muslim choose a name from The Bible for their son/daughter?

I don't know???
Why would I want to name my child, after one of their names???

[oracle128]

I'd rather name my kid with something from the Koran, than name them after a food, fictional character or location (http://www.babynames.com/Names/Celebrities/celebrity_babies.php)...

[Snurfen]

I wholeheartedly agree, Mr Oracle, as I was only telling my beautiful children Storm, Mango-Peaches and Frodo, just the other morning. :p

I think the issue of naming children with names from different cultures shows a measure of tolerance and free thinking that I find admirable. To limit choices out of resentment for other cultures shows quite the opposite.

[renegade600]

To limit choices out of resentment for other cultures shows quite the opposite.

but sometimes you have to limit choices because of the resentment from others.

[PurestLight]

I named mine the names they've got (Jack and Elliott) because I like the names, nothing intended by it. I dont like many boys names really, theyre a bit boring IMHO. Just so happens they're maybe a bit 'traditional'? If Id had a girl she'd have been called Daisy or Perpetua or something equally naff :D. Hmmmmm I was banned from ever having a daughter after sharing my girl-name thoughts LOL

[Snurfen]

For a terrible momnet there I thought it was going to be the punch line involving two canines :eek:


*EDIT* theres been a massive resurgence round here in the last 5 years or so for traditional welsh names. I like it, as it's keeping my culture alive.

When my youngest daugther was born the girl in the next bed-a Mrs. Barr-had also had a baby girl. She named the girl Candy. That's right-Candy Barr. Why would a mother do that to her baby?

[ggross]

heh if my rents named me after the meaning of my name then God Help them and me, my name, George, means bean farmer.....
