Opinions on the name Khalid please?

[CoffeeShop123]

We like the name and are looking for opinions?

I like it

I like it.

I like it too! Pronunciation could be an issue, though - the little Khalids I've met have pronounced it KHA-lid with a hard kh but I tend to hear ka-LEED more often from nursery staff, etc.

I like it but ditto the above re ambiguous punctuation

I like it, hard for people to pronounce who don't speak Arabic though so depends how bothered you would be by hearing it said wrong

I like it, though my first thought was DJ Khaled!

Lol me too DJ Khaled. I am not keen.

I really do not like it, sorry.

I like it

It is ok. If you want a similar Arabic boys name, how about Qasim (kas-seem)? Love that name.

Could you provide us with your other choices ?

I've never heard of it and have no idea from looking at it if you are planning on using it for a boy or girl. I wouldn't know how to pronounce it and if someone told me it I doubt I'd spell it right. Just bear in mind if you use it your child will probably spend their life telling people how to pronounce and spell their name.

There was a really cute presenter on Look North when I was growing up called Khalid Aziz so I have really fond connotations

Love it! X

Gorgeous name! Congrats OP.

Big no from me. Sorry.

Reminds me of DJ Khaled.

Reminds me of DJ Khaled.

Iamcheeseman it may depend where you are from in the country. I think it's a perfectly ordinary name and would know how to spell it.

OP I think it's a great name. IIRC it means "eternal" doesn't it?

Isn't it a name of Muslim heritage?

My best friend when I was 5 was Khalid. So I like it a lot.

It's a lovely name. It's also Muslim, so a little random if your other dcs are Benedict and Priti.

llias pronounced. [ ih Lee as] is in the same vain. Easy to pronounce and a little unusual.

Thanks all!! Our other choices are:
Aamirah
Abdul
Zayn
Zebadiyah
Zidan

Thank you!
