As in...finding Nemo..
There's also some desi actress I came across whose name is Digangana. I find it quite amusing
Re: Unusual names for desi kids..
I see that the name "Isabelle" has been mentioned here...is this an Islamic name? I didn't think it was but I could be wrong...
My pathan husband has a cousin called GULALLAYE (no joke).
Re: Unusual names for desi kids..
^ Gulalai is not an 'unusual' name (for desis) as compared to other names mentioned in this thread. It may seem so because most of us aren't used to Pashto names.

I see I also spelled it wrong. The first time I heard it (and even now) it seemed odd to me.
Re: Unusual names for desi kids..
Yeah.. I think Aysha Isabelle, Aliyah Isabelle or even Arya Isabelle flow better and sound a little more formal than simply Bella so those are the new considerations.. Ayşe is lovely (though I'm not a fan of Turksh names in general, many sound a little 'blunt' to me) but English people would never get their heads around the fact it's 'Aysha' without an 'sh' in there for them to see.. I sometimes wonder what happens to all the Ayşes who end up coming to live in England, do they end up changing the spelling or go thru life just being called 'Ace' or 'Ice'..
Also, can you give two siblings the same middle name? Is that weird?
Four sisters...all of us have the same middle name lol.

I'm the youngest of 3 girls and we all have the same middle name. My boys all share the same middle name as my husband as well as it was my father in laws name.

Sidratul Muntaha...this was a 7 year old child I met once at a party.
Her mother called her by her full name: Sidratul Muntahaaaaaaaaa kidhar ko jarayn?!
OMG Reha, the first name that came to my mind was this!
I thought the same when I saw this beautiful girl and her mom calling her Sidratul Muntaha. Good meaning, but such a mouthful. :)
Re: Unusual names for desi kids..
Wait, deeba are you expecting?? I love Isabelle as a middle name and I'm partial to Aaliya as a first. Aaliya Isabelle is gorgeous. My little girl is Aaliyah Claire :)
I know desi sibs named Maya, Aidan and Nora. Not unusual on their own but definitely unusual for fully Pakistani kids IMHO.
You have a little girl now!! Congratulations SGC. Long time, I haven't been in touch. Lots of love to and your babies.
