Muslim Boys Names??

[lovemybabyboy]

I am 12 weeks with DC3 and already have 2 DS's, my DH is muslim but I am not, we would like a muslim name that works well for both his family (African) and my family (Irish). We are living in the UK, so that is also a reason for having a name which is easy to pronounce/spell!
We have a girl name picked but we always struggle with choosing boys names! Any suggestions would be welcomed and appreciated as we have nothing so far!
Thank you in advance!

Both my brothers dads are Muslim .
There names are Teoman & Xandur they are half Irish as well & seem to work well within both communities

Basil

Haris

Laith

Rafi

Zain

Idris (a Celtic name and also a Muslim prophet).

Elias

What are your other DC called?

Unless we know, we haven't got a lot to work with.

Yahya?

I know someone who has a little boy called this. Her DH is Muslim. It means John in Arabic.

i like zain, i am 25 weeks dont know the sex but if its a boy zain is top choice so far.

Prophets' names:
Dawood/David
Isa/Jesus
Sulayman/Solomon
Yaqub/Jacob
Yusuf/Joseph (v popular)

Adam, dean or sami

Naim?

Tamer?

How about Samir or Faris?

I've always liked Karim.

I like Ahid

can't find it on any baby names sites but I know one so it does exist

Samir is my favourite.

Amrit - means Prince

I like Ali.

Teoman and Tamer are not Muslim names. They are Turkish names that have no relation to Islam.

Satyen
Omar
Qasim
Hasan
Adham
Hari

Well the little Tamer I know is the son of Egyptian Muslim parents! Not sure I know what a "Muslim" name is really, anymore than I would classify names as "Christian". My name is Sarah and I know Jewish, Christian and Muslim women with the name.

Not Amrit as above - bloody autocorrect!

Amir - it means Prince

Thank you all so much, lots to think about here, some lovely suggestions.
DS1 has an english first name and muslim middle name, both names sound similar, DH's side of the family call him by his middle muslim name. DS2 has a muslim name which sounds very similar to an irish name and also to a name which is quite popular at the moment. Sorry but can't tell you their names as don't want to be outed! We have not told anyone in RL about this pregnancy yet!

Idris for sure, but I'm biased

Love the name Nail which I think is pronounced Nile, unfortunately people will assume it is nail (as in hammer & nail). Also like Saif.

"Not sure I know what a "Muslim" name is really"

Without meaning to hurt your feelings, if you don't know what a Muslim name is, maybe you shouldn't be arguing about it with those who do.

Tamer = Tam ("Whole, complete") + Er ("soldier") = "A complete soldier", or very strong man, if you like. This is a secular Turkish name, not in any way related to Islam.

It is like thinking "Sitting Bull" is a Muslim name because you have met a Native American Muslim by that name

Teoman is the name of a khan from back when Turks were in Central Asia and worshipping Tengri, like Cengiz (Ghenghis) and Atilla. I wouldn't recommend any as Muslim names, although they are the names of some Muslim Turks.

Nail is pronounced "Nah-EEL".
