faysal isn't a Somali name

Shankaroon, is a nickname, people don't really name their kids shankaroon, at least never met one named that

^u right about faisal ..but shankaron is actually a name.. if you think of it..most if not every somali girl name is some kind of amaan(praise),

u have names like cawo/hoodo/ayaan wich all means luck
u have the old names like ceebla/saluugla wich both have almost same meaning

lool, he's right, waaxid, isniin, talaata, arbaca, khamiis, sabca, are numbers in Arabic

Waaxid=Axad=First day
Isniin= 2nd day
Talaata= 3rd day
Arbaca= 4th day
Khamiis= 5th day
Sabti=Sabca= 7th day

Jumca=Jamaaca=signifying salaatal jumca

I know an Arab guy whose name is Keyse. It ain't a unique Somali name

Some of the "Somali" names listed aren't Somali. Keyse = Qays, an Arab name. Warfa is another.

edit:

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.

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.

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.

Is Abshir a Somali name?

Always loved Dahabo.
