Do any of you have Somali names?

[NeseN]

Same but mine is an old one out of fashion so I get stares from Somalis when I tell them my name

Unlucky , All the Adeiro Ik are not surprise by my name and always tell me what the name means yet I never see them naming their children with the same name

Arabic names are cool and Islamic names are good of course, but why is it not as common to find people with traditional Somali names? Not saying it doesn’t happen but it definitely doesn’t happen as much as it should. My name is Somali and I love it it’s a representation of my culture. Do any of you have somali names too

That Henny gave you idea to do this post huh? It's ok I feel ya

somalified arabic names are somali. look at english they have names from french and german origin but they don't get identity crisis.

Arabic names arent somali names also dont compare europeans tht share same ancestors with each others to somali ppl europeans dont take non europeans names like arabic or asian or Indians or black african or somali
Somali should adopt similar names tht they share with oromos other ppl tht live horn of Africa
It is about identitty and nom somali names cant be somali non somali word tht are in somali languages arent somali
There is no such somalified arabs names only arabic names and not somali

Yeah I have a somali name even though it's orginally a Arab word but Arabs don't use it as a name

Then it is not somali name if it is arabic name

 

[Gantaal97]

Then it is not somali name if it is arabic name

It's not a Arabic name but a somalized Arab word that Somalis used to name their boys you often see it as a surname or a third full name in Somalis

You can't separate somali and arab, somalis are arabs whether some somalis like it or not.
