I am due in Jan with a boy. Both my husband and I are Muslims and want to give our son a modern Muslim name.
My nephews are called Adam, Noah and Zacharia so those are out.
Am thinking Samuel, Joshua, Danial or Kamran?
Any more suggestions would be really welcome as DH and I cannot agree at all.
I figure the more ideas the better. Please help?? It's driving me insane!!! X

My friend has a Khalid. Not sure how "modern" that is but I love it

I really like Ashwin. I think it's a Muslim name.

Thanks everyone. These are really nice names. Will add to my list of possibilities. We are waiting to meet him before finally deciding. Thanks xx

Not modern Muslim names, but these are some names of Muslim pupils I have taught: Ibrahim, Esa, Ahmed, Abdullah, Tamim, Sami, Hadi, Abdullah, Dawood, Jameel, Ali.

My best friend has a son called Omar which is really nice. It sounded a bit grown up when she named him but now it really suits him.
