I think o is a big problem also.

 

[Apollo]

I think o is a big problem also.

Wish more Somali names ended with -a.

I think that would make them sound more beautiful.

 

[Saredo]

Wish more Somali names ended it -a.

I think that would make them sound more beautiful.

-o is better !

 

[somalipatriot]

My son will be named Warsame

You don’t want him to have a future with his country stable secure with strong institutions and Qabiil eliminated? The future of Somalia depends on how Somalis act today Somalia’s population is 70 percent under 30

 

[somalipatriot]

-o is better !

Your Italian?

 

[Saredo]

Your Italian?

No I’m not.

 

[somalipatriot]

No I’m not.

Somali? Your name sounds italian thats why I assumed you were

 

[somalipatriot]

Saredo is a very Somali name.

Alright

 

[Apollo]

Would be funny if diaspora Somali hoteps created fake never before existing Somali names out of thin air using Somali words and prefixes/suffixes.

Like Black Americans create fake names like Latasha, Dashawn, Reyvon, Shaniqua, Lakeisha.

Your sspot name isn’t plenty either it literally means scream away

 

[Qeelbax]

Everyone [including myself] in my family either has Arabised Hebrew, Islamic Arabic & non-Islamic Arabic names.

My family has Somali and Arabized Somali.

@Shimbiris

Is there anything like 'son of' in Somali naming tradition like how Armenians use -ian / yan or Nords use -son (like Svenson) etc?

 

[Qeelbax]

This name (Aaron) and Moses are Ancient Egyptian.

Hebrews appropriated it from Ancient Egyptians.

So Musa and Harun would be Arabized Ancient Egyptian?

Inan? Like Axmad inan Maxamad? Sort of like "bin" among Arabs but no one really uses it in a transliteration sense.

 

[Nalaaye floxks]

Majority of Somalis have somalized arab names and arab names

Raaxo is a Somali name of Ancient Egyptian origin. From the Sun God Ra. Kkkk, extremely pagan name.

What about roda, it sounds oromo because of the oromos that are somalized
