Re: Arab names or Somali names?
Some of the "Somali" names listed aren't Somali. Keyse = Qays, an Arab name. Warfa is another.
What would I opt for? I don't know. Depends on the wife's culture as well. Somali names are foreign to my family, it seems, so they won't be on the list.
Majority of Prophets' names aren't Arab, since the majority of them weren't Arab. Those names are simply Arab renditions. EDIT: Many are actually in Hebrew.BlackVelvet wrote:The only Arab names I would condone are prophets' names. I really like Ishamel, not Ismael, weird?

Re: Arab names or Somali names?
Somali nicknames
Somali names
Quranic names
the name should be as it is stated in Al-Quraan, for example Ciise, Dauud, Ibrahim(not Abraham)...then there are Somali-Arabic names like AbdiRahman, the Arabs say Abdul-Rahman, I don't mind AbdiRahman because it is Somalized.
Pure Arabic names that has no Quranic influence or Somali influence are just plain disgusting to me, I find more and more girls have these weird names and I tend to dislike it, especially if they are mix raced.
