Muslim boys’ names ideas

[stanley10]

My husband’s family are Pakistani, mine are white British. Any ideas for nice Muslim names that won’t be mispronounced by my family?! Bonus points for names that exist in both cultures...

So far we like: Eesa/ Issa, Tobias, Laith, Noah.

Zain, Ali, Reyad, Zander, Sami, Idris, Faris and Haris?

Your dream come true...

A website that lists Arabic names that work in english:

I like Tobias...but not sure if that’s actually Arabic?

Thank you both! Will definitely check out this website.

Idris is also on our list but I don’t want people to think we named him after idris elba...

I think Tobias is Persian. It means ‘

Oops sorry pressed post too soon. Tobias means ‘born with a star’

Arabic and Persian names are great.

Xavier
Zander
Zain
Farris
Raif
Sami

I like Faizal.

Adem, Zafer

Adam
Basil
Safwan
Zahid
Adnan

Yusuf
Salim
Uthman
Faizal
Bilal

Are all names of Muslim kids I've taught in the past whom I adored. :-)

My husband is also Pakistani, in white British. We have 2 boys Noah and yusef. I really wanted Joseph after my grandad but went with yusef as it's the same but Arabic.

I know a Zayn and a Zeph from a Muslim family.

Sammi

Azdi
Hasni

I used to work in a Muslim country so every staff member was Muslim and we happened to do a lot of work with foreigners and these names were so easy to them, everyone forgot the others' names but these two always remained. I also think they're very easy to spell and straightforward when it comes to pronunciation based on spelling and they were honestly my favourite. I have even considered the name Azdi myself even if I'm not Muslim at all.

I think Qasim is a nice name.

Kamran is a Pakistani name and it would work in the UK too.

I love the name Eisa (this is the spelling of a friends name).

I also really like Saif & Ismail

A friend (whose husband is Palestinian) called her son Adam

Thanks all- these are great!

Zaki is quite cute too

Yacine

Kamran,Adam and Zain are names in their own right from both your cultures. I like Ayaan.

I gave one of my sons the middle name Dara as it is both Persian and Irish (I'm Irish), but it is well known in England.
I also liked Kayvan.

I am Persian (excuse the username as it is not my real name) so I love thinking of Arabic/Persian names.

Ozair - The Arabic form of Ezra
Eesa
Musa - Moses
Ibrahim - Abraham
Yunis/Jonas
Zachariah
Jacob (the j is pronounced as a y)
Yusuf
Masud
Zaki
Zahid
Nasser/Nasir
Farris
Ayman
Hamza/Humza

In Persian there is also the name Aryan which I highly favour as well

I love the name Zayn

It's a nice sounding name but I'd say no, too many neo-Nazi connotations there.
