What is a good Islamic name for a boy?

Question

My husband and I are looking for an Islamic name for our baby boy that is on the way inshallah. We want a strong name, but a name that is easy for non-arabs to say since I am a convert to Islam and have fam that would have a hard time saying names.

Please berespectfull and if you want to say something bad or sarcastic I will report you. Please be nice thank you

Answer 1

Abdul or Yusuf.

Yusuf has the advantage of easily being "Anglicised" to Joseph.

Congratulations on your pregnancy, and best wishes for a safe and happy arrival.

Answer 2

I am not Muslim but I congratulate you for your coming baby boy!  I've always liked the sound of the name Thariq, but if that sounds too Arabic, what about Omar? It would recall the builder of the Dome of the Rock, the handsomeness of the movie star and can be pronounced to sound like Homer, the poet!

Answer 3

Answer 9

There is nothing called islamic names. there are arabic/persian/turkish names which are commonly used by muslims. Any name that does not has derogatory or unislamic meaning are considered good(so ther eis nothing strong/weak name).

Usually names with 2 syllabal is good and simple for non-arabs to pronounced. also arabic names are pronounced more from the throat. So choosing a name with less pronounciation from the throat will be good. also check if the name is similar to any local slang or similarly pronounced words in english/local language and avoid them (children get teased in school if their name is similar to something funny/bad word).

I suggest you put this question is the ramadan section where most muslims post or check questions
