Please don't pick anything you can't pronounce properly. Seif, for example, is actually really hard for an English speaker to pronounce properly.

Omar
Nader/Nadar
Malik
Amir

Amir is actually pronounced Emeer.

My friends Arabic partner

Love the name

@Zok I'm pretty sure Jude is an Arabic name, I think it means "plenty". Elias is Arabic (his nn can be Eli) and it's similar to Elio. Family are sometimes very hard to deal with. They can be judgmental and harsh with their words. I think the best thing you can do is pick a name that you like and as my grandmother used to say, leave it in the hands of God. However your family takes the name, at least you know you like it and you did your best.

Isn't it Joud or Jood?

I thought Elias and Elijah were Hebrew and are Ilyas in Arabic

Issa is my absolute favourite.

I have a Christian Lebanese friend called Elias. I have never met a Muslim with the name only Ilyas.

I know 2 Ilyases. One Maghrebi, one Pakistani.
The Eliases I know are British (Christian, white).
I know an Issa too, he jokes he's Jesus.

Spellings of the names may vary.

@Mercurial123 I've met a few, but of mixed Maghrebi/European heritage. It's definitely the Europeanised version.

Issa is great actually! I forgot about Issa. Fab name. I've got a fondness for Yahya as well.

Abdullah
Yusuf
Hisham
Suleiman

Elio means sun in Italian but is linked with Greek god of the sun helios so I’m not sure if it’s forbidden to name that
the Greeks worshipped everything at one point

Do you know the meaning of qais is it قيس some say it means measurements?

Doesn’t it sound like Lisa a girl name ?

Is Adnan a suitable name. I knew a boy called that and thought it was a lovely name
