[quote=Anonymous]I think it will be pronounced close to correctly but will feel unfamiliar to many Americans without Arab heritage. Whether that matters to you will depend on you. If you do want an Arabic name that will be more broadly known in the US, there is a whole category of these and you can find lists online. Off the top of my head, these include names like Noor or Nora, Yasmin, Nadia, Lina, Layla, Maya, Amina, Aisha. But there are others. There are a lot of Arab-Americans with Arabic names so there is actually a lot of acceptance of these names in the US. It's just that Zainab is not as common and will not feel familiar to many Americans without Arab heritage.[/quote]
