What do you think about name Arslan in U.K.?

[Elkalv]

I know there is Aslan but it's not traditional

What Enid said.

Arse, think of the potential for bullying

😂 sorry but it sounds like arse-lan
Is that how it's pronounced?
I don't like it. Where is it from?

I'm with Enid too.

I just saw the arse bit too. Sorry.

I read it as are-lan. Please don't name your child that.

Arse. Won't work imo.

Arse! Arse-lan!

Nickname: Arsey? I wouldn't. Then again Arsene Wenger gets away with it.

Arse!

Nope. Arse shouts out

I have a Turkish friend with that name but he had terrible trouble growing up in north London with it. Definitely a bit too 'Arse'. He had some terrible nicknames at school. His mum loved it though cause it meant brave lion.

I read it as arse-lan.

Too much potential for nick names and potential nastiness.

As above. Sorry.

A no from me too OP, sorry!

Errrr no

Clearly not a native English speaker!

Aslan yes, but Arslan?

"Arse" is informal English for the bum/bottom/ass.

But saying that, 'Aslan' sounds like 'Ass Man'. Maybe not great neither!

I don't think it would be a sensible idea OP. That name would elicit way too many sniggers and comments.

Ok got it no arslan then, the name is Tatar -kind of Arabic and means lion

I am thinking of second name , so this would be second name

Are you on drugs op??
Was your dc unplanned and you dislike it?
Because there is no reason IN THIS LAND that ANYONE would lumber their dc with the nn ARSE. .

Tatar makes me think of teeth and scones.

Chill out Just, I think the OP gets it. She was unsure hence the thread.

I'm so sorry but it made me think of a C.S.Lewis lion with a big arse
