Achieving Unique Islamic Names For Boys and Girls:

unique Islamic names

For a Muslim, having unique Islamic names for boys and girls can be of the most important in his or her life. Because we are proud to be Muslim, having unique Islamic names is important. But how are you going to do it?

There are many different approaches to this and it all depends on the individual person who is going to be receiving the name. It's pretty much the same thing with girls though. This just depends on the culture of the mother and father, to whom the child will be in charge of choosing his or her name.

In this case there are many different approaches. For example, if the parents were Hindus or Muslims from a Muslim background, the Indian names might be suitable while the European and American names would probably be more appropriate. The Arab names are usually a little harder to pronounce and not so popular at the present time.

But there are ways to make it so the children can have some kind of unique Islamic names. How do you do that? Is it through name planning? Is it through the family member of the child having the choice to choose the name himself or herself?

And then there is the special one-on-one process of getting the name through the cultural circle and making it official. Some cultures don't even recognize common names but many cultures respect and appreciate the fact that you have chosen a unique name for your child.

Another nice approach that has been taken in some countries is the use of a script where the name is spelled differently from the usual way and written in the language it is pronounced. With that script the name can be handled as a religious issue. And then there is the English, Hindi, and Arabic script where the name is read as it is spelled and pronounced.

So many different ways and approaches have been used for people to have unique Islamic names for boys and girls. It is still a little difficult for the mother or father to get the name of their choice approved because there are many languages involved and there is the cultural issue involved. There is no one best solution.

All you can do is to find something that fits in your needs for your child to have unique Islamic names. And remember if you don't make it special, you won't have the parents taking pride in your choice.
