Help! Rami or Adib for baby boy

44 replies

Hi, my husband and I are both Moroccans living in the UK and are hesitating between a couple of names: Adib or Rami for our baby boy.
Which one sounds better? Thank you for your help Smile

It's Rah-mee, achildsjoy, with the emphasis on the first syllable. (It rhymes with warm, if you have an accent that doesn't pronounce the letter r!) It's a lovely name, OP - I had an uncle Ramy (he used that spelling) Smile.

It rhymes with army, that should say!

marblestatue · 18/07/2016 21:02

A vote for Adib here!

Finola1step · 18/07/2016 21:04

Rami would get my vote everytime.

Rami.

Adib just doesn't seem to 'work' in England

Rami is short, snappy and boyish.

I like Rami. It's punchier than Adib which sounds a bit like 'a dweeb'.

Rami ! Gorgeous
You could spell it Rahmi if you wanted people to pronounce it right ?

Oblomov16 · 19/07/2016 16:03

Rami.
One of my closet friends is Finnish and her husband is Indian, their son is rami and I really like the name.

Wordsaremything · 20/07/2016 00:01

They both sound odd. Any other ideas?

yaaasqueen · 20/07/2016 10:03

Why odd, words maybe because they aren't English based names? Not everyone wants a baby Arthur Wink

I have a bit of a thing for boys' names beginning with R, and Rami is no exception - it's lovely. Unfortunately my surname begins with R and all the combinations sounded a bit too alliterative.

DoloresVanCartier · 20/07/2016 10:10

Rami

MyKingdomForBrie · 20/07/2016 10:14

mackarella I just wasted at least a minute trying to rhyme Rami with warm before I saw your correction!!

dailymaillazyjournos · 24/07/2016 11:56

Rami. Not keen on Adib.

Amira85 · 24/07/2016 18:46

Thank you so much everyone! Rami it is!! :)

Rami is lovely.

strawberrybootlace · 24/07/2016 19:24

Lovely choice :-)

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 24/07/2016 19:25

Rami is gorgeous!

PsammeadPaintedTheLion · 25/07/2016 16:24

I know you have decided but I really like Rami too!

I went to school with an Adib and he was a nice guy, but Rami sounds nicer to my ears.
