Wanting a name that is part of your culture isn't racist. What a stupid comment.

Nusayah

Both above lovely girls I’ve known. Nusayah shortened her name to Nusi

I like Sulayka from your list.

So I’m guessing when you named your children, you also consider Spanish, Turkish, Indian and Chinese names? Seeing as you have have an issue with people not considering the massive amount of names out there.

PInkyStarfish · 29/12/2025 11:28

Farzana or Farzaneh

Yes these are really lovely and made me think of Faria and Farrah.

So what about chinese people who only want chinese names, or Nigerian people wanting names from their tribe.
I tell you what, next time my polish friend whose expecting asks what I think of her new sons name im going to tell her shes racist for not considering a name from the African Bantu tribe or a name from Vietnam.

Im muslim and want a Muslim name. I also use pretty common Western names for middle names. Happy now.

Thanks, the names are important to me and my husband.

How funny though that Hannah which is actually arabic as is Layla and Zara are common here in the UK. I didnt start crying and wave the racist flag. How silly.
