Opinions on the name Khalid please?

[CoffeeShop123]

We like the name and are looking for opinions?

[Sophronia]

I like it

[Notthisnotthat]

I like it.

[CancellyMcChequeface]

I like it too! Pronunciation could be an issue, though - the little Khalids I've met have pronounced it KHA-lid with a hard kh but I tend to hear ka-LEED more often from nursery staff, etc.

[lastqueenofscotland]

I like it but ditto the above re ambiguous punctuation

[firawla]

I like it, hard for people to pronounce who don't speak Arabic though so depends how bothered you would be by hearing it said wrong

[wesH]

I like it, though my first thought was DJ Khaled!

[Olbersparadox]

Lol me too DJ Khaled. I am not keen.

[Porcupinetree]

I really do not like it, sorry.

[trevortrevorslatterfry]

I like it

[Mottled]

It is ok. If you want a similar Arabic boys name, how about Qasim (kas-seem)? Love that name.

Could you provide us with your other choices ?

[Iamcheeseman]

I've never heard of it and have no idea from looking at it if you are planning on using it for a boy or girl. I wouldn't know how to pronounce it and if someone told me it I doubt I'd spell it right. Just bear in mind if you use it your child will probably spend their life telling people how to pronounce and spell their name.

[Disappointednomore]

There was a really cute presenter on Look North when I was growing up called Khalid Aziz so I have really fond connotations

[Mausageandsash]

Love it! X

[AnnieOnAMapleLeaf]

Gorgeous name! Congrats OP.

[OliviaStabler]

Big no from me. Sorry.

[dogparkingbus4x4wanker]

Reminds me of DJ Khaled.

[dogparkingbus4x4wanker]

Reminds me of DJ Khaled.

[AnnaMarlowe]

Iamcheeseman it may depend where you are from in the country. I think it's a perfectly ordinary name and would know how to spell it.

OP I think it's a great name. IIRC it means "eternal" doesn't it?

[dogparkingbus4x4wanker]

Isn't it a name of Muslim heritage?

[neolara]

My best friend when I was 5 was Khalid. So I like it a lot.

[ApocalypseSlough]

It's a lovely name. It's also Muslim, so a little random if your other dcs are Benedict and Priti.

[Marmalizes]

llias pronounced. [ ih Lee as] is in the same vain. Easy to pronounce and a little unusual.
