Just found out we are expecting a baby boy!
Looking for some boy names that are close to Quran and have good meanings however I'm white/British and dads Pakistani so looking for something that's easy for both sides of the family to pronounce!

Any idea?!?!

@Wavescrashingonthebeach , in what way is it obvious. Wouldn't you need to know that it doesn't sound like K?
Before you say that it does, listen to an Arabic or Urdu speaker say it.

The work colleague friend i had was a practicing Muslim of Yemeni descent and I'm sure she pronounced the K.
But yes if I've got it totally wrong then nevermind.

I like it but it has a ghayn in it so you'll get different pronunciations.
