[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Muslim and yeah I find it weird when non Muslims use Muslim/Arab names and esp w zero idea of the significance of the name.[/quote] I agree. The meaning of names is very important, and it's strange to me when someone just picks an Arabic name and doesn't know what it means. I feel like Zain is like that. People think it sounds cool, but don't know or care about the meaning.[/quote] I’m muslim as well, and noticed that many African Americans tend to pick muslim names, but this is because their ancestors who were brought here were Muslim and forcibly converted. The arab name is a nod to that stolen heritage. In that light, I’m actually quite happy to hear muslim names becoming common place in American culture. There’s a lot of great literature about the first muslims in America, almost all of whom sadly were slaves.[/quote]
