Can anyone here help me with spelling one arabic and one egyptian boy's name?

[Smithagain]

DD wants to write cards to two boys in her class whose names are unfamiliar to me. I'd like to get the spelling right. (Having grown up with a surname that was NEVER spelled right, I have become neurotic!)

The names sound like Fahdeem (which I'm guessing is arabic) and Ezeldeen (dad is Egyptian). Is that spelling anywhere near right?!

sorry, never heard of those names before.
it may be Fadim, no idea with the other one.
what class is your dd in? get her to go look at their trays? or phone up the school and tell the recptionist your dilemma. orbetter yet, go withchristmas card andpen in hand tothe recpetionist and ask her.

Fahd is a name. but never heard of it with the im sound at the end

They don't give out class lists (for reasons I don't understand) - hence the question.

But for some unknown reason it didn't occur to me to ask She Who Knows Everything in the office. Thank you for stating the obvious and sorry to bother you !!

tis no bother. its wha tmn is here for.

Ezz al-Din or Ezzeldin. I actually sent you a msg but i think i did it wrong via CAT. It's way past my bedtime x

If your dd is anything like mine, the children are probably called Farid and Nourredine. I have been in similar dilemmas.
