If somalis were Christian, would we overuse biblical Christian names or pick any western names?

[BetterDaysAhead]

Would we stick with biblical names like Paul, Isaiah or Mary or would we have other names like Adrian, Jerome, Natalie or jequavius?

Faracks Abdihohnson would be most common name for males while for females rebacka

 

[BetterDaysAhead]

I would name myself tupac

 

[Marcus]

We'd be like the Christian Arabs and adopt out colonisers names. Many Giovannis and Francescos.

 

[The alchemist]

Maybe Somalis would adopt more western sounding names after a while like some Christian Arabs, but I don't think we would have any significant deviation from the Christian Oromo and Habashi speaking peoples in name-giving with relation and balance between their respective traditions and outside influence.

 

[Samaalic Era]

Christianity is too b1tch made, many apostates who would turn to Waaqism and atheists, heck even make their own religion

 

[Octavian]

imagine having pastor as a name

 

[Apollo]

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
ቴዎድሮስ አድሓኖም ገብረኢየሱስ

Somalis would have the same names as Habeshas as the same type of Christianity would have spread.

I think if we were Christian we’d probably pick up Roman Catholicism from the Italians, I highly doubt we’d take the habeshas orthodox Christianity

pedros somalicus africanus

I doubt that the Waaq religion would have survived up to when the Italians would arrive.

It would have been either replaced by Orthodox Christianity, Nestorian Christianity, Buddhism/Hinduism (kkkk), or more obviously Islam.

 

[Octavian]

a fusion between waaq and Christianity

 

[Marcus]

Zoroastrianism

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

If Christianity became the main religion of Somalis then Orthodox Christianity would've been dominant. However, we could have ended up like Eritrea with both Orthodox & Roman Catholic Churches in the country due to Italian conquest.

Imagine if somalis were Hindu lmaooo I’d pay good money to see how that would look

so basically a 12 headed 13 armed camel god who's followers would mass shit them selfs in the street

 

[CaliTedesse]

Negga Somalis used to be Christian and Jewish why you think we use many Biblical names

 

[Octavian]

Imagine if somalis were Hindu lmaooo I’d pay good money to see how that would look

the amount of simps would skyrocket
