Somalis are changing their names and are going to the extreme with their picks

No. Egyptians speak Arabic as their first language. It is not comparable in any way. Somalis still speak Somali.

no a better argument would be to say that they were arabized in ethnicity, in language, and in culture. we dont share those characteristics thankfully

I think most of the changes occurred a few generations ago. When my father tells me the names of my grandfathers there are a lot of authentic Somali names. I hope others can say the same lol.

Turks and Iranians still use their own ethnic names to a large extent. It's just Somalis who are cooning out with those Arab names.

When ibn Batuta went to Mogadishu he in 1331 he said that the sultan's name was Abu Bakr ibn Sayx 'Umar, so not only did the sultan have a Muslim name but also his father and his grandfather
