We don't really want a traditional Muslim name and are very open to a variety of names however we just don't LOVE a name. Anyone else got any suggestions?
So far we like
Elijah
Haris

Adam
Zain

Congratulations! I would say these are the most common names that have a muslim background but are pretty well suited to the Uk. Faris is another and is similar to Haris which you have listed.
Kamran is also a pakistani muslim name but is also not one of the most traditional kind of names. Good luck x

I was going to say Adam

Every Biblical name has a traditional Muslim equivalent right? Friend recently named her twin sons Isa and Isaac as they’re quite popular at the moment.

I don't like Elijah, sorry - it sounds like a baby name not a man's name.

Aydin?
Yahya (Yahi for short)
Zain is nice.
I like Saeed but no idea of connotations. Could be the equivalent of Bernard for all I know Grin

UsernameInvalid66 · 16/01/2018 16:25

I like Sayeed (that was the spelling of the one I knew at school) and Omar. Also Adam which I think is used by Muslims too.

ChuffMuffin · 16/01/2018 16:29

Hisham, its not at all common in our area and I love that name so I might be slightly biased!

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your baby boy! 😍

Angelika321 · 16/01/2018 16:32

I really liked Idrees but got vetoed by the rest of the family.
