Is Beinash still usable?

[Creeshj]

Is Beinash (any spelling) still ok to use after the Sara Sharif/Beinash Batool tragedy? I’m wondering how many people would be aware of that. Our second choice would be Zainab.

I made the association immediately.

Zainab is much nicer anyway, it's really pretty.

I would avoid personally. I prefer Zainab anyway. It’s such a beautiful name.

I would associate it with That Woman. But that may not persist for many years.

And I much prefer Zainab anyway. I associate that with the fabulous (but differently spelled, because she is Algerian) Zineb Sidera whose work is currently at Tate Britain. It's a great name.

I think Beinash is very pretty and stands out (in a good way). I wouldn't let Batool's existence prevent me from using it. The way that I think about it is that every single criminal and unsavoury person in the world has a name. Imagine how many names you would have to look at in order to find one that's untainted and not connected to or associated with any negative events.

It does make me think of her. I prefer Zainab.
