Plain Talker Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Really? - Go on! Name them! Well, there's Mohammed, Mohammed and there's Muhammad, for a start. *huge wink* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Star Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Well, there's Mohammed, Mohammed and there's Muhammad, for a start. *huge wink* Surely white brits called Mohammed have changed their name from their given (true) name for effect? In the way that Catholics choose their own middle name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitch_1980 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 9 pages, and I thought "Justin" would at least be mentioned once...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Surely white brits called Mohammed have changed their name from their given (true) name for effect? In the way that Catholics choose their own middle name? Some converts may choose a new "Islamic" name on converting, Ladystar, that's correct, but what about the white converts who have children? They name their children with Islamic names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They name their children with Islamic names. There may be some who do yes - As yet I've yet to meet a white kid with a islamic name (and I meet a lot of kids in my work) so it's a fairly minority sport by the looks of it!

Rupert_Baehr Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Surely white brits called Mohammed have changed their name from their given (true) name for effect? In the way that Catholics choose their own middle name? Which way do Catholics choose their middle name? - That's a new one on me. There may be some who do yes - As yet I've yet to meet a white kid with a islamic name (and I meet a lot of kids in my work) so it's a fairly minority sport by the looks of it! There may not be many male names, but May, Maya, Maria, Misha and Maryam are all female Muslim names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Which way do Catholics choose their middle name? - That's a new one on me. They don't, at least not in the way that PT suggests. They get to choose a confirmation name when they're confirmed - usually some saint or apostle or whatever, which they can use if they want. I'm afraid I can't recall my confirmation name, I just have three my parents gave me. I'll have to ask my mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavegirl Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I can think of a few unusual but (I think) nice boys names: Levin (from Tolstoy's Anna Karenina) Avery Colm Isaac Joel Tobin Jasper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
