Re: Girls names

Allowed by whom? Culture warriors? Any name in any language is allowed as long as it is respectful and doesn't go against Islamic teachings. It is only for cultural reasons to give Arabic names.

Re: Girls names

any name with good meaning and non-pagan origins is allowed:)

Well, by that straw even many now Islamic names have pagan origins :P

A new just cannot be specifically for another religion (such as the name "Christian," which is obviously Christian).

Peace

Slav origin - sonja - means 'wise' - this name is also acceptable. People need not keep Arabic names, but the meanings need to be 'good' ...
