Seems like all the nice sounding Somali traditional male names are long. Would be nice if more of them had meanings.


Some of them sound extremely boastful/borderline shirk e.g Ceebla (without any fault) , Sharmaarke , Rooble (one who brings rain)

While I love the idea of resurrecting our traditional names, I do see the importance of naming children after traditional Islamic figures.

Perhaps I would do both, by incorporating middle names too.

Something like this : Idil Maryam

Ladan Aasiya

Arragsan Zainab

Keenadiid Tariq

Kooshin Bilal

hmmm, but then they have to sound nice together too. This is more tricky than I thought.

It's a Somali forum. Somali-related posts are to be expected.

This guy (gegirror from the thought police) is just unbelievable. Since when is it a crime to have a Somali name.

The thought police are in full effect today.

We are not removing words from their context now, are we?
