My sister's having a baby in a few months & she's trying to think of girls' baby names that are both western and egyptian (like Sarah for example). or nice egyptian names that are easy to pronounce properly when said in english.
any ideas?

I'm sure there are more but these are the ones I know of for sure used here in the West as well as being Islamic names.

I named my little black doggie "Laila" - I think its one of the most beautiful names.

I was told out it was wrong to name your animals Islamic names... This was long after I called my 2 cats Abdoo and Fatima!!

Yes, Samia, you are totally right. I would never call f. e. my new dog Ali (I am planning on to get a second doggie ) knowing I am going to live in an Islamic country. I truly understand that people would react very defensive.

I always thought that MONA was the abreviature for MONICA. Is it true? It is normal in Egypt to call MONA a girl called Monika?
I personally love Zaynab and Aisha, two Naguib Mahfuz Cairo trilogy characters;-)
Thanks!

Perhaps, I do not know. They do not remind me of anything, but it's been quite some time since I heard this name. Whatsoever, you know better than me, so I accept what you say Thank you

Sara is not a western name ! it can be used in the west . But it is originally oriental name it is the name of the wife of the prophet "IBRAHEEM" who is from IRAQ here are some nice names I like OMIMA. habiba. Mareem.

No it's not. It's an Arabic word meaning "Good Wishes/Blessings".

(sorry)
That's why I never mention my "daughter's" name to strangers. I think I am the only Egyptian who has chosen this name for her daughter. It should be totally Arabic, but people seem to be not creative enough to realize it, but it's also Hebrew and Western in the same time. Just like my name.
I also never mention the first and second names of my children as a combination. They are too nice to be spread around.
I hate it when people steal names!
