Baby Names

Abbas —

Assalamualaykum,

Me and my wide recently had our first child which we named Aisha. My wife is Christian but I am muslim (from a Shia family) but practice more the Sunni way as I was never tought by my Father or his family and embraced Islam myself.

Although we have decided Aisha I have had constant remarks from my family about the name and the dislike towards it. I understand the reasons why but is it really possible for a whole nation (Iran) to "Hate" the name as some family members have described it? Surely this is small minded foolishness. It would be like me hating everyone with the name Osama because i relate that name to a man I dislike for example, which is ridiculous.

It's something that is bugging me at the moment. Comments please... ?

Aisha is a beautiful name and it also is the name of the wife of the Holy Prophet (saw). You should stick with the name, very beautiful and if you keep it with the intention of bringin her up in the footsteps of Hazrat Aisha (ra),nothing but greatness can come of it.

The shi'a in general do NOT name their children Aisha or Hafsah or Abu Bakr or Umar or Uthman.

Sayyidina Ali radhiyallahu anh named his sons - Abu Bakr, Umar Awwal, Umar Thaani, Uthman. And named daughters Aisha and Hafsah.

They are good and righteous names.

It doesnt matter which sect you're from, as long as the name has a good meaning it will suffice.

I personally like the name Rehan for a boy and Zara for a girl. Aisha is is good too..... now what to name the remaning 4 children..hhhm

Aisha is a very nice name and one that I was thinking of naming my daughter in the future, if I have one Inshallah. For the boy, Sufyan.

Salam

Aisha is a good name for a girl. Properly feminine.

Whatever name you may decide to give to your child, just make sure that
boys get a male name, and that girls are given a female name.

Nowadays, parents - those on LDS - call their daughters Ali.

I have also seen girls named Bilal !!

Omrow

Is Omrow even a name?

Since we have someone here called that, I would state yes.

And I (think I) know it's derrivation.

So that is a yes,

Angel — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 - 21:14

It's an odd name just like omro, so it's perfect for him i think.

Don't worry, Omrow is a big boy. He gives as good as (if not better than) he gets.

zara — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 - 18:43

wat is this a new trend coming out givng boys girls name and girls boys names

i feel that the in the modern muslim society inactually giving a name with true meaning and purpose they are giving names that just sound fashionable and are look upon as trendy.

subhanallah we are blessed with endless beautiful islamic names, waiting to be discovered and used.

I can't understand why all "muslim names" are "Arabic names"

Dave — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 - 22:10

[quote="02cute4u"]I can't understand why all "muslim names" are "Arabic names"[/quote]

...because most significant events surrounding the formation of Islam happened in Arabia?
