HandsUpHandsDown Member # 15410	posted I have so many friends that are all having babies right now!! I want to be able to help them with names suggestions, but my knowledge for Islamic names is very limited. I would love to hear your favorite boy or girl names?
Ayisha Member # 4713	posted Burt Fred Harry Henry Aristotle Herbert Gladys Gurtrude Ermintrude ok I will be serious now I like Ibrahim, Hassan, Musa, Amira, Ayisha, there is a website somewhere with Islamic names.

Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted quote: Originally posted by The Ministry of Common Sense: Seif Yes a beautiful boy name and not common at all in Egypt. I looked after a little boy named Seif in Cairo. quote: Originally posted by The Ministry of Common Sense: girls: Jehad I truly hope this was just a typo and you meant to say Jihan. What other names do I like?? Of course Yasmeen, Mariam, Amal, Rania and for boys Ramy, Raouf, Sami, Sherif.... I am sure there other nice ones out. Good luck to all pregnant women out there!!

The Ministry of Common Sense Member # 15597	posted quote: Originally posted by of_gold: Mini, Are you raising your child Muslim? We're not having any children - I'm too old for that. I'll be 42 next month and my husband is 37. I don't want to start over at this point in my life and he does not want to have children. I have a 21 year old son back in the States, but he's not Muslim and doesn't plan to be. (Besides we have a newborn baby cat.)
The Ministry of Common Sense Member # 15597	posted quote: Originally posted by Tigerlily: [QUOTE]girls: Jehad I truly hope this was just a typo and you meant to say Jihan. No. I have a good friend here in Cairo named Jehad. It is typically a boys name and as far as she knows she is the only girl with this name. She gets teased about it all the time. But aside from the other meaning of the word - it is a nice name for a girl.
happybunny Member # 14224	posted For a girl i like Layla, Hana and Ameria. For a boy i like Yassen and Yousef. I always found boys names not so nice Has anyone heard that in Egypt today people are calling their children more western names I have recently heard of Sandy (For a girl) and Kenzie for a boy! Extended family members asked my husband to think of a good name but he likes quite traditional names such as Ameria, mena - they all looked at him funny
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted quote: Originally posted by happybunny: Has anyone heard that in Egypt today people are calling their children more western names. I have recently heard of Sandy (For a girl) and Kenzie for a boy! My friends are Christians and they named their girls Caroline, Vanessa and Sandra. Only the youngest one - their boy - received a traditional name - Youssef. When I worked in a KG in Agouza there were the siblings Andrew and Amanda, such beautiful, polite and smart kiddies - I will never forget them. quote: Originally posted by happybunny: For a girl i like Layla, That's my dog's name btw. When I first saw her she was five weeks old and all black - black as the night (and she still is six years on).
Dubai Girl Member # 15488	posted Girls names I like are Safeya, Hanadi, Roma and Amina The last two are the names of my husbands paternal and maternal grandmas I had a hamster named Zannouba which is a purely egyptian name, although this isnt very popular RIP Zannouba :-(

Our first daughter is Mira - although it irritates me when people here in the UK pronounced it as "Myra". Our little boy is Danny - my husband says that Dani is a boy's name in Egypt although judging by his family's reaction it's not at all common. He was going to be either Nader (and called Ned here in England) or Jonah. My husband wanted to call him Amir, but that was too similar to Mira's name - so somehow we settled on Danny You're right, Happybunny - boys' names are way harder!
dolphin redsea Member # 11209	posted my husband always liked adam,dont think thats a egy. name either,a girls name for me would be farha i also like fatima
DawnBev08 Member # 14964	posted Tullin for a girl

The only problem is here in the uk people write it Hannah! Your husband has good taste dolphin as that is my sons name! It is common in Egypt, we liked it because it suits him wether in Egypt or the uk. It was so hard GOI, he had no name for about a week! TL my cat is called Layla!
Lady Ferret Member # 15263	posted I like Yousef as it can be Yuppie and I like Tarek as it can be Tikka... I don't think there are many nice boys names out there but I like some of the nicks. For girls I like Kyra (pronounced Kee-ra), Ayisha, Hanna and Ahela

Name him Habib if it is a boy or Habibah if it is a girl. I went to school with a black habibah and she always got pick on. I like Rakim, Kaseem, Kareem, Rasheed, Rashida, LaTisha

Culture Club Member # 13767	posted Any proposal for twin girls?
HandsUpHandsDown Member # 15410	posted Are you having twins, CC? Congrats is you are!!
* 7ayat * Member # 7043	posted quote: Originally posted by Culture Club: Any proposal for twin girls? How about Malek (Angel) and Rahma (Mercy)?
Culture Club Member # 13767	posted Yes according to USG the babies are twin girls. But the due date is still a month later inshaallah, hope everything runs well. I would like to have twin's name which sounds 'almost' the same. I have proposal for my hub, such as: * Rania-Riana, * Aura-Aurelia, * Arrafika-Arrakika, Those could be Arabic, Islamic, or Universal names.
tina kamal Member # 13845	posted hanna,micheal,brock,brett,shanice,heather
HandsUpHandsDown Member # 15410	posted Congrats CC! You are going to have your hands full!!
get-over-it Member # 8447	posted Congratulations, CC - that's lovely news for you! Good luck with the delivery. My husband has gorgeous twin nieces who are about 7 called May and Ma'yaa (not sure how the second name is written, but it's pronounced like My-ARR)
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted quote: Originally posted by Culture Club: Any proposal for twin girls? Not long ago you mentioned you are expecting twin BOYS. What happened?? Okay name proposals for two girls would be: Sarah and Samirah
Rudegirl Member # 16636	posted Rudegirl you like my name :-) thanx... Ur welcome , its my sister's name. Congratulations CC,good luck Ideas for twin girls Rania Rana Amal Manal Samira Samiha Samiha Madiha
Culture Club Member # 13767	posted Thanks so much for your attention. Rude girl: Rania-Rana, Samira-Samiha, I will keep it. TL : yes, USG can detect anything right and wrong, first, it detected boys, cause they showed 'balls', but then no 'balls', but whatever, the important thing is they will be healthy babies, girls or boys. My cousin are twin girls, my brother has twin girls, the niece of my husband is also twin girls.
Tigerlily Member # 3567	posted quote: Originally posted by Culture Club: cause they showed 'balls', but then no 'balls' Lol, you are funny!! If my doctor would detect twice boys when they are actually not I would wonder from where he received his degree. Can't complain about the doc I had in Cairo who told me in week 11 that I most likely gonna have a girl - and he was correct (thank you Dr. Hamza ). And you are right, it doesn't matter as long as the children will be healthy. But - your husband will want to have a boy too later on. You know that, right? Well, CC, all the best for your delivery next month. Ah you must be SO excited, a new chapter in your life is about to open - MOTHERHOOD. Enjoy! With twins you will need a lot of help. All the best and keep us posted here on ES. I am thinking about you and I am so happy for you and your husband.
Rudegirl Member # 16636	posted Like TL said with double trouble you will need all the help you can get , but it absolutely worth it nothing compares to being a mother best thing that ever happened to me (and believe me a lot happened ;-) ) its hard work but enjoy .
Kalila : ) Member # 14517	posted Just one thing CC don't dress them the same if you have 2 girls/boys
mamasue Member # 4691	posted My favourite is still Samia for a girl.... followed closely by Jannah. My best friend (Egyptian) and his wife have just named their baby girl Lara.... but they call her Lulu more than Lara!!
