[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would reframe this as an Arabic name and an American name. One is the official middle name and the other is the official first name. You both agree to use the respective name when you’re in each country. In the US, [b]Hani Nathaniel becomes Nate and when he’s in the Middle East he’s Hani[/b]. The order swaps for the next kid. [/quote] This is a good idea. The ILs dont have to know what is officially on the birth certificate ("Middle Name" Hani) or how you register him at school. Baby can go by Hani "Middle Name" in family circles for the time being and in any cultural or religious ceremonies. Hani can be told to use his American real first name when he enters preschool. Sounds complicated? Yes! But it seems like the easiest way. [/quote]
