I find it hilarious when Muslims give themselves/accept nicknames which are more acceptable by the west.
Some that I’ve personally come across.
Haroon – Harry
Shahid – Shady
Muhammed - Mo
Kashif – Kash
Muniba – Mebz
Ozman – Ozzy
Bhatti – batty
Jamal - Jams
Or you get those who just pronounce names with a heavy English accent.
Umer – Oma
Anwer – Anwah
Irfan – erfan
Aaliyah – A-liya
Or when the likes of Taimoor becomes T or Zeeshan becomes Zee
Add your own
Waslaam
I call myself Irfan or Urfan according to who I'm talking to. To Muslims I say Irfan to non-Muslims I'm Urfan. To my friends I'm Urf.
Sometimes I introduce myself as Irfan and the other person says 'oh, Urfan'.
BTW Haroon Patel = Harry Potter
Lol. I know of Harry's who've been dubbed hairy puttars...
I want to change my name gradually back to irfan and what people call me.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
And Adnan becomes Dan... or Danni.
lol, or my brother Arfan becomes Arthur @ work.

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.
