@CrostaDiPizzaabsolutely, I’m just interested what constitutes a Muslim name.

In Islam, any name is allowed as long as it has a positive meaning. My brother was born and raised Muslim and his name is William, the meaning of the name is beautiful as it means a strong-willed warrior.
Most people just mean an Arabic sounding name when they refer to a Muslim name.

I was listening to a Stevie Wonder countdown the other day, and remembered why I love Ayesha. Its because of the song ' Isnt she Lovely'. Theres a line in it ' Life is Ayesha- the meaning of her name' Its not my favourite song but when I was young I wanted to be called Ayesha because I heard it in the song!

Melsy88 · 06/01/2026 14:57

I think Soraya is a beautiful name. I'm not Muslim but its one of my all time favourite names!

Yes it is! A girl I was friends with at uni who was an East African Muslim was called that.
