Found out we are expecting another boy but so unsure of names.
Anyone got ideas?
Would like something fairly westernised ish but still Islamic.
Thankyou

Adam, Jacob, Noah - that's what I'd be naming my boys if I had any! All names of prophets, just not the Arabic version of the name but the English version. Although is the same either way.

I love 'Zain', have a couple in our school.

There have been at least 5 threads on this, try googling for English Muslim boy names mumsnet and you should find them (the mumsnet search function doesn't work well).

I really like Abbas, meaning Lion, and if I had to choose a Muslim name for my boys it probably would have been that.

One of my boys middle names is Ali, so putting it out there too.
