Due to our different family backgrounds, we named our son according to the formula: Welsh first name, Egyptian second name, then both surnames. This wasn't too hard as we had an Egyptian family name to fall back on. This time round we're having a girl, but don't have any suitable Egyptian family names and no one to ask. What I'd like is something three syllables that doesn't begin with 'M' and wouldn't be laughed at by any Egyptian people!
Admittedly, this is a bit of a tricky one, but I've been very impressed with the resourcefulness of everyone on Mumsnet, so I thought I'd give it a try. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.
