ok me and hubby made a deal..well sort of…but at the time i wasnt even preg…i loved the name adam for a boy forever, and i said if we have a boy we will call adam inshallah, he had the same feelings for a girl name…fatima
ok now mashallah we found out we having a girll..:] and although i have no other name for girls i like, and i wish i loved the name fatima as much as he does…but i just dont…and i dnt want to backtrack..or let him down…i feel he should get the name as he loves it, while i have no other real liking for a name for a girl…i only have names i lovew for boys such as adam and ali…
anyway its not a boy, its a girl/.so guys i need u lot to pump me up about the name fatima…and make me love it :]
Its a lovely name and Hazrat Fatimah (R.A.) was Harat Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) 's beloved daughter and she is head of all jannati ladies. And May ALLAH give your girl lot of good qualities as Hazrat Fatimah(r.a.) had ameen
Congratzzz on having a baby girl:)
congratulations on your little girl! :)
if he loves fatima and you don't, how about compromising and using it as a middle name?
also, i'm in agreement with you, its not a name i love either despite its good connotations and it doesn't help that non-desis would pronounce it Fuh-TEE-ma which i hate, instead of FA-tima.

The name Fatima is very common in our family - but we use it as the middle name to give reference to Janab-e-Fatima A.S.
The first name will be "connected" to the middle name to give it meaning:
Tamseel Fatima - tamseel means example or misaal - so together the names mean an example of Fatima
Seerat Fatima - seerat translates to a person's nature or more generally, their character - so again, together the name means nature/character of Fatima
Iman Fatima - iman translates to faith or belief so the names together would mean Fatima's faith
Aimal Fatima - aimal translates to hope - so the name would mean Fatima's hope.
why? Fatima is not a mouthful so it's not like you need a nickname for it..don't make up your mind like this.. in fact it shoudl be more like even if someone calls her fatty you should correct them!
you can call her fati or fateh with a soft "t" instead of fatty, nadz :p
and like i said, use it as a middle name if its not working as a first. but beyond that, wait till you meet her! another name might strike both of you as more appropriate after that or she might be the perfect fit for "fatima".
