BOO,

"Male= Ali, Fahad, Faysal, Hasan, Mahad.

Females= Amal, Fatima, Iman, Khadijah, Leila. "



All these names are Arabic names, not pure Somali names.

Pure Somali names tends to be tied to something that gives it's meaning.

Roble = It rained heavily when he was born
Abaarow =All rain stopped when he came out
Xujaale = His Mom was in the middle of deciphering a riddle
Cambaro = dad was roaming the seashore looking for Cambar
Yalaxow = Had extremely soft hair, even though it doesn't run in the family
Yariisow & Dhicispw= A premature baby
Madoobe = Subxaana, his mom was close to running away from him


etc etc etc

I wasn't aware of that, Ok how about these.

Basra, Xalimo, Asha, Nurto.

Cabdifatah, Omar, Xussein, Liban.

^^^ I hope those are affirmed.

Basra is derived from the Iraqi Town Basra and Nuurto is a Somalised version of Nura which is Arabic also. The rest are all Arabic names.

Sorry,

The only pure Somali name is Liban.

Sir-luggoyo,

Boo, wrong again, there are some Carab names there.

I know a family (Mareexan) whose children are named as such:

Durraan
Jaanfi
Dhenged
Dhegfar
Jaambiir

I forgot about four others with similarly ridiculous names (not nicknames)
