[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean “Christian” names? Do you mean US names? Or anglicized names?

In the Arab country where i grew up, both Christians and Muslims use the same names. Only a few names like Mohammed, Mahmoud that are mainly used by Muslims. [/quote]

She means what she said… names that can be translated to the same thing in the Bible and Quran. There are way more names then Mohamad that are obviously Muslim pp. are you sure you weren’t an expect in Dubai and think you know everything? [/quote]

Yes, pretty sure about that. But maybe you were. You are conflating Arabic with Muslim. In many Arab countries, arabic names are used by both religions.

Op mentioned “Omar” as sensitive, well, I know both Christian and Muslim Omars back home.

The OP did not say that she wants a name that appears both in the Bible and in the Koran.

Osama used to be a nice neutral name pre-Laden, Samir, Kareem, Jamal, Jamil, Lame, Yazan, Rayyan, Akram, Makram, Mansour, and so on… this is just a small sample of names that are used by people of both religions. This may be different in country where her husband is from (since she indicated Omar is sensitive), so best to speak to him. [/quote]

OP. Omar isn't sensitive in my husband's home country Kuwait. It's a sensitive name in the US in my opinion. The easiest would be to have a bible name that our family recognizes from the Quran. Our children will already have a very Muslim last name.
