Please help me decide!! Due in 3 days
Saif - pronounced like the word safe
Laith - pronounced like layth
Basil - pronounced like bazel but with a soft “s” not like the herb

Middle and last initials will be A.M.

@ColdShouldersWarmTummy that’s what I was thinking, I’m more confused than ever about the desired pronunciation. That link was the short a hard z sound like it is here. Not a soft s.

[Tiredpigeon]

Definitely Laith. I know a lovely boy called Laith.

[IamnotwhouthinkIam]

Always loved the sound/look of Laith - and I like the fact it's so multicultural (Scottish as well as Arabic).

[NoLA2356]

I know it’s confusing to try to explain the pronunciation but it is like the video as “baa-zzel” but staying with the same sound and pronunciation and saying it with a soft s as baa-ssel. Rather than “bay-sel” like the herb.

[WakeUpLockie]

Ok so that is Basil spelled the same as the herb for most of the people here - this is a UK site so we don’t say Bay-zil like those in the states.

I like Laith and Basil :)

*pronounced the same as the herb 8 mean

[CouncilHousedAndViolentBaby]

I know a Saif he's lovely so I would go for Saif

[CouncilHousedAndViolentBaby]

Oh and I like Yaseen I also know one🥰

[Elspethelf]

I work with two Saif’s and a Basil and the names suit them fine. I think I prefer Saif :)
