By : Junaidi AR

Muslim baby names are special and it’s the matter of you finding a suitable one for your special child. There are always those that convey the best things, sound like music as they are spoken, and make you smile when you hear them.

And muslim baby names are frequently very similar to Arabic baby names. The difference between muslim baby names and Arabic baby names is that muslim baby names relate specifically to the religion Islam, whereas there are Christian Arabics as well as Christian Arabic baby names.

Muslim Baby Name

Easily for you, there are a tips on choosing Muslim baby names :

Firstly, log on to a web site that provides baby names list. If you are looking for a name of a boy, go to the boy section and vise versa. You can also look at others pages that can provide you with the name you are looking for, such as in my website, you can look in pages like ‘Muslim Baby Names for boy or girl’ or ‘99 names of Allah’. After the list of names is in front of you, get a piece of paper and scroll down to the names. Write down all the names that you like on the paper without thinking which one you like best. After doing this, you would end up having a name list containing only names that you like.

Secondly, shorten the name list by choosing only half out of the names and canceling half of which you less prefer. Repeat this until only one or a couple of names are left. From there, pick the most preferred or suitable name. If you still have some names and don’t know which one is ‘the one’, this is the time when you should let somebody else pick it for you. Consult your love ones, husband or wife, parents, other family or even your friends. They will gratefully help you on that matter and this would certainly help on your relationship. After doing all this yet still no solution, maybe combining the two or three names into one would be your answer.

Thirdly, consider additional names that you can add. If you are a Muslim, consider additional names like Abdul, Muhammad, Nor etc to be added to the names. Write down the additional words in front of the names you’ve chosen and see if it sounds better. It is up to you though, if you feel adding this word suits the name, then you should add them up and vice versa.
