Would you give your kids English names?

[Futurist]

Iranians, Kurds, Turks, Chinese, Blacks do this a lot

Mariam = Mary

Yuusuf = Joseph

Muuse = Moses

Safia = Sophie

Halimo= Elizabeth

etc

 

[QueenSamaale]

Hell no. It is either somali or Arabic.

Elizabeth kulahaa, that is the whitest thing I've ever heard.

 

[land owner]

English names are boring and got no flavor imagine naming your kid bob or john

 

[Basra]

Iranians, Kurds, Turks, Chinese, Blacks do this a lot

Mariam = Mary

Yuusuf = Joseph

Muuse = Moses

Safia = Sophie

Halimo= Elizabeth

etc

Be careful what name u give your child, they will encompass the character of that name.

 

[Apollo]

Most of these are (((Hebrew))) names, not ''English'' or ''Western''.

Don't be a slave to the chosenites.

 

[Molotoff]

Exactly @Apollo. Those are Hebrew names.

Germanic names would be Horst, Heinrich, Friedrich, Reinhardt and so on.

 

[Nilotufian]

Iranians, Kurds, Turks, Chinese, Blacks do this a lot

Mariam = Mary

Yuusuf = Joseph

Muuse = Moses

Safia = Sophie

Halimo= Elizabeth

etc

That last one is random as hell

 

[Molotoff]

That last one is random as hell

Elizabeth is another hebrew name, anglicized version of "Elisheba", which means "God is perfect" or "God is my oath".

 

[Nilotufian]

Elizabeth is another hebrew name, anglicized version of "Elisheba", which means "God is perfect" or "God is my oath".

What I mean is, it does not equal Xalimo.

 

[Molotoff]

What I mean is, it does not equal Xalimo.

Halima is of Arabic (semitic origin).

 

[Lord Flacko]

I would give them unique Somali names with Hebrew origin/ that are easily anglisced.

Adan/Adam
Ilyas/Elias
Zahra/Sarah
Mariam/Maria
Yaqub/Jacob
Elmi/Elmi
Nuh/Noah
Etc


Gotta be a faithful realist

 

[Mckenzie]

You should think of three things when you name your child;

1. A name that is easy to pronounce will make their life easier in social settings and in school/work etc.
2. A name which has historical reference that may aspire them to do good.
3. A name which doesn't rhyme with bad words or can be twisted easily to mean something rude. For example, a Bengali friend of mine was called Mahboob, you can take a wild guess what people did with his name
