Arabic boy names

[Zok]

Hi we liked the name owais ( o- way—-ss

but some people said it sounds like “ a waste”

we’re having trouble deciding
we want modern cool Arabic names

not with letter M as I dislike that letter

Faris is my favourite, but can't use it as our friends got there first! I like Saif, but my DH isn't so keen.

Girls' names are SO much easier

It's a beautiful name.
In the same style what about Usayd, Obaid

Modern names I also like Qais, Samy

I’ve always like Yusif and Yaseen - I would stay away from any letters that aren’t easily pronounced in English as they’ll spend their lives correcting people!

Haris
Aydin
Sami
Adam
Danyal
Aleem

To add

Isaac
Zakaria

Personally I don't like the name Owais/Awais (sorry!)

Some modern names I've seen are:

Deen ( will probably have spelling issues with the name Dean though)
Rayan
Rehan
Zain
Zaid
Faisal
Nazir
Nadir (this does also mean lowest point in English)

I have some mental health issues and take weeks to decide on names with my others
I don’t seem to like sound of some letters like M, R,Z

every name we tried to tell our families resulted in them judging the name and thinking we’re asking their permission

Then don't tell them until baby's born

Are there any men in Arabic history or literature that you particularly admire? Sometimes that can be a good starting point for name inspiration. I like Owais, and if you like it then use it!

Decide on the name between the two of you and then tell everyone. I like Owais. It's a good name. How about Kais (like Kais wa Leila)? I like Waleed too.

Baby is almost 2 weeks old and each name we present they say something
and now they see how indecisive we are they are thinking it’s funny and are suggesting names all the time :/

then we told our other kids a name and they’ve told their friends at school but I no longer want the name as it ends in letter m

My brother named his son a Spanish name and my dad didn’t speak to him for weeks but now accepts it

my dh is Arabic but our other kids don’t have strictly Arabic names (Jude) but all his suggestions are Arabic

I liked Elio which means sun in Italian but he says it was a greek sun God Helios and that’s forbidden in Islam

Not keen on Oasis tbh but the only people that matter are you and Dh.

Someone suggested Qais, how's that pronounced?

Always liked Thani
Other suggestions are Rabi, Faisal, Hammad(Hammoudi), Qais, Fadi maybe?

It's pronounced K-Ice

Also Tateq and Qusai

Louwai

Thanks, my brain was saying key-us but Q is such a funny letter

Rafi
Omar
Sami
Laith
Yaseen
Ilyas
Ishaq

Illias
Sofyan

Idris
Hisham
Malik
Rafi
Louai (sp sorry!)

Elias
Ara
Lotfi

Laith
Aazz
i love Haithem but you don’t like the letter m so maybe not
Wael
Wafi, I have just named my dog this though, so I see it more as suiting a dog maybe not so much

Elias! Or Idris.

Adam
Aram (which I think is actually Persian but I've met a few in Arabic speaking countries).
Big fan of Samy/Sami as well.
