Do you like the name Najah?

[happyhijabi]

I love the name Najah. It's pure and beautiful.

Do you love this name?
Hate it?
Like it?

Would consider it?

What is the meaning?
Sadly, where I am it would sound like people saying"Nadia" (though I like that too!)

Is it Arabic? I’m not entirely sure how to pronounce it but it looks pretty written down.

How is it pronounced?

It depends how it’s pronounced.

If it’s more like ‘nar-jar’ then I quite like it.

If it’s more like ‘nadger’ (to rhyme with badger) then I really wouldn’t use it if you’re in the UK.

I like it - it suggests energy and radiance to me.

I think it’s lovely, is it pronounced Nah-yah/n(eye)-ah?

Naja Naja is an Indian cobra.

Are you sure it’s not a mispronunciation of Nadia?

That’s my first thought...

Soft J or hard J? I like it with a soft J.

Is it made up? Agree, sounds like Nadia mis-pronounced.

It’s a Muslim name afaik

Is it made up?

why? Because it’s not English?

All names are made up BTW.

I know one who is Danish and it's pronounced Ny-ah. Its lovely but t pronunciation issues in the UK would put me off.

I believe it's a Middle Eastern name pronounced Na-jah. It's alright, but if your child was growing up in the UK, I would go for something that would work better in both languages.

I know some with this name and think it's really pretty. I don't know the meaning of it

It looks clunky in English and, yes, like Nadia/Nadja gone askew. Maybe it’s just not a travelling name?

Well I think it's lovely, OP

It sounds too much like nadger when i pronounce it.

All names are made up BTW.

No they’re not - names primarily derive from existing words.

and words just grow in the ground do they?

It's a 'no' from me, sorry.
It reminds me also of nadging/nadger.

i think its really nice

It is an Arabic boys name and is pronounced Na Jar. We have a family member with the name.
It is not my favourite name but if you like it then use it Op. My son also has an Arabic name which is very unusual in the UK.

Oh boy name pronounced Na-JAR I really like.

‘Nadger’ is a no from me

More Nadia-ish pronounciations I like too if a girl.

So it depends!
