Thanks

Re: Boy names

we just had a son and named him Ammar, but Zarar and Salar were the other tops ones. Salar - leader and zarar - brave/fast

Re: Boy names

I just love Hamza (powerful) and Hashir (The Gatherer; one who assembles; the conductor; leader; charismatic leader.). Hashir is one of Huzoor (SAW) names.

Re: Boy names

I’ve always loved Ahad and Hamza. Shahmir is also lovely. Aariz is a current favourite too.
Gabriel is an all-time favourite of mine :smiley:

Kakee, someone I know is Japanese married to a desi guy and they just named their son Kanzen. Its just such a cool name!
Perfection in Japanese is http://www.stockkanji.com/Names/images/k/kanzen_02.gif which is read kanzen.
The Japanese word kanzen means “Perfection, Complete, Perfect” and is composed of the kanji http://www.stockkanji.com/Names/kanji/3430.gif (read kan) meaning “perfect, complete” and http://www.stockkanji.com/Names/kanji/4134.gif (read zen) meaning “whole; entire, complete”.

Re: Boy names

mhmm
I wouldn’t name my child complete especially when there are other names available that aren’t an actual word that is used on a daily basis.
It would be like calling your son “Acha”
These days modern couples pick a Kanji that they like and combine them its really rare to know somebody who has a traditional Japanese name. I have a friend that is Japanese/Chinese and he’s name is 正次郎 Masajiro which is I guess the english equivalent of Nicholas.

Off-topic but is it hard for a child to have parents that are not the same nationality and Muslim? As well as living in a predominantly Christian country such as Australia? I didn’t have a pleasant childhood and that was because I was biracial and bilingual.

Also is it possible for children who are not “pure” Pakistanis to get rishtas? not that I would want my children to have an arranged marriage but I’m very curious to how other people do it and if its common.

-Another question to those who moved to an English speaking country or grew up there their whole life-
Was it hard for you to become fluent in English? Learning and adapting to a new culture and do you think you would be more conservative if you were brought up in Pakistan where I hear the schools are segregated etc?

Re: Boy names

**i’m from India and i moved to Canada at age 20 and, since i got all my education through English medium, i had no problem with accent…i had harder time because i went to an island in Canada [Newfoundland] where Baymen accent was very difficult to follow. i had to work hard on improving my Indian accent. if you immigrate to a new country after age 9, they say it’s rather impossible to fully get rid of your accent … i think i have somewhat gotten rid of it [40-50%].

no, i’m more religious and conservative being away from my native land and culture in a non-Muslim country. i realized what moderation is. i’m NOT that ‘conservative’ as i would have been back in India.**

Re: Boy names

thanks for replying

and hmm I understand that somewhat you or your parents probably didn’t want to lose their/your culture etc being outside the country.

My friends in Pakistan tell me that people who live in UK/US etc tend to be more religious then those who are in Pakistan xD
