Fareeha, Khurshid or Parveen?

[ShazLovesJammieDodgers]

I love Khurshid but wonder if it?s maybe a bit too ?adult? for a tiny baby! Do you know any baby Khurshids? If not what about the others on our shortlist? Open to other suggestions in a similar style!

Sorry Khurshid

To my non-Muslim ear I would assume Khurshid was a boy, it sounds quite masculine.

Parveen is quite common I think, but I may be wrong? Farreha is my favourite from your list and sounds feminine.

The only other Muslim Pakistani names I know belong to friends of mine Aquila, Marium and Madiha (although I'm now wondering if Madiha is Bangladeshi?), all very feminine sounding to my ears.

Are there no other names you like that sound feisty but feminine at the same time?

Go with the name you love! Although we've all given our opinions it's only your two that really matter. Once your little one is named they just 'become' that name & no-one else's opinion will matter. Unless it's reeeeaaaalllly awful :) Go for it!

I think Parveen is a lovely name. Never heard of Fareeha before but it has a lovely sound to it too! Kurshid does sound masculine but I don't think that's a bad thing and if it's pronounced Kursheed (which I have no idea if it is....excuse my ignorance) then it's much nicer and more feminine and would definitely go up my list! All good choices I think.

I'd go for parveen, I used to know a lovely girl called parveen.

I like Parveen best. I knew one a few years ago and she was beautiful. So now I think all Parveen's must be beautful.

oh no, not khurshid, i dont know any khurshids under 60 years old sorry, to me your names are all older lady names.

fareeha is the least bad but really there are so many nice pakistani names.

how about things like saira, samiha, sobia, aisha, alia, amna?

I'm not Asian and don't 'know' any of the names but to me Parveen has by far the most beautiful sound, and Khurshid sounds masculine.

I like fareeha best, i thought khurshid sounded boyish too I've not come across any but would have presumed it's a boy sorry!

Parveen is lovely.

Fareesha. It is pretty and feminine.

I've never heard the name before so my first thought is that Khurshid looks masculine.

Fareeha is nice

Parveen is beautiful!

Parveen sounds lovely.

I love Kushi as a nickname and the full name is very elegant.

Parveen then Fareeha then Khurshid, which in the full version sounds a little masculine to me, too. Parveen and Fareeha are lovely.
