Gaalo names for newborn Somali babies is now the reality

[Lord Flacko]

Yea gotta agree. Especially mixed kids got the most gaalo names ever.

 

[VixR]

They're trying to tow a line between choosing an Islamic/Somali name and one that isn't too hard as to be butchered by everyone.

 

[merka]

I'm going to change my name from Ahmed to Aaron

I'm surprised you haven't done that already.

 

[Cognitivedissonance]

What's your name?

Abdi

 

[legend]

Faraax abdulah mujiid
Put that on ur cv and see how many replies u get, even Burger King will think twice my friend

 

[Apollo]

Arabic names are also cultural appropriation. At least this time it's being appropriated from a community they actually live in (West) instead appropriated Arabian ones.

 

[Inactive]

I'm surprised you haven't done that already.

It's not easy after you changed your name.

 

[Apollo]

I'm going to change my name from Ahmed to Aaron

Ironically, this name has a proto-AfroAsiatic root for lion 'Aar' in it.
Jews got the name from Ancient Egyptians and its original meaning is still found in Cushitic languages..

 

[Mohamud]

i like the somali spelling and pronunciation of names

i've seen somali people even f*ck up rudimentary spelling of their kids named. saw a sachariya while i was working last summer

anyway i'm with CD. i like my name, and if i would change a thing it would be the "o" in the beginning of my name to an "a"

not even remotely sure how that o got in there

 

[Apollo]

The name 'Adam' also has the Cushitic root word for red in it:

Lol, many of these old testament biblical names are more Cushitic than the Qurayshi Muslim names.

When is your second child coming you Arab bootyclapper

[angrycat]

Nothing wrong with euro names as long as its not a haram name
