Zaid

Sami

SadieAB9 · 07/10/2018 12:40

Zaid!

Icklepup · 07/10/2018 12:44

Zaid :)

ClaudiaWankleman · 07/10/2018 12:45

Sami. I prefer Ziad to Zaid.

SoaringSwallow · 07/10/2018 12:45

Rami? Not on your list. Inlike Nabeel too. I prefer the Nabil spelling but for non-Arabic speakers it'll never be pronoun correctly!

Zaid is this option but I also like it a lot.

Ramzi is nice. I also like Rami as a PP suggested.

firawla · 07/10/2018 12:52

I vote Haytham, all are nice though!

bridgetreilly · 07/10/2018 13:18

I really like Ramzi.

Dosmamas · 07/10/2018 21:18

I vote Haytham, lovely sounding name and a nick name of Hay or Hayth is cute.

SneakySneaky · 07/10/2018 21:22

Nabeel (but I’m biased because I once taught a lovely kid called Nabil and it reminds me of him)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 07/10/2018 21:23

Zaid or Ramzi.

Faster · 07/10/2018 21:24

I know a lovely little Sami so that gets my vote!

PodgeBod · 07/10/2018 21:24

Nabeel

grasspigeons · 07/10/2018 21:25

Sami or Haytham

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 07/10/2018 21:39

Zaid. Do you like Nadeem OP? I've always loved that name.

sakura06 · 07/10/2018 21:40

Zaid

BikeRunSki · 07/10/2018 21:42

Nabeel

Sophronia · 07/10/2018 23:23

Sami

Thais everyone. Looks like there isn’t a clear winner. I will add Rami to the list. Nadeem sounds too much like Nadine for me.

Op, which region of the Arab world would your family relate to? So for eg, Ramzi would be almost unheard of in certain countries but would be extremely common in Egypt for example.

PollyFlinderz · 08/10/2018 04:47

Sorry, from your list I’d go for Haytham or Zaid. They have more substance to them.

Another one for you - Jad

Other options could be Laith, Noah and Isaac which seems to be the trendy Arabic option atm. Good luck
