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

Sorry looks and sounds ugly to me

British people will struggle with pronouncing and spelling it. If you're from Middle East and live in that region maybe could suit there ?

Noah is a nice name similar beginning and end.

Apologies if offensive

and words just grow in the ground do they?

They have etymology.

I would assume nay/ah and think it is beautiful

I really like it :) (I have a colleague named Naia, so this is how I'd pronounce this, btw...)

Najah does look a bit like 'naja'... Which is a rather common German expression (it may mean 'well...' , 'meh', could be used to signal hesitation etc...)

Pronunciation I'd go for:
Like Maya/Maja (muh yuh) but with an n.

Noooo. Naj (Nadge) for short. Think about it Shock

Sounds like a girls name. Any other contenders?

Wildlingofthewest · 23/06/2018 21:24

No, sorry, it’s horrible.

Why are people turning Naja with a j as in Zsa Zsa into nadger?
