Islam want's you to ask questions, explore the world and find out stuff. The main thing though is that once you've asked all those questions, then you have to work towards reaching the proper conclusion instead of an erroneous one.
It's not about judging character but rather, determining somebody's views from what they say. It's possible. All you have to do is pay a little attention.

And thanks for your advice.
I would discuss it more with you, but... I really don't care to. Good day.

Torontorians say G'day too? Do you have Aussie roots or something?

After going through the list I mentioned earlier, we picked our top 5 and put the names in a hat and my 2 year old niece picked the name Dalia 3 times in a row and my sis-in-law picked it too.

I can't believe we picked my niece's name by drawing out of a hat. haha.

Default Re: Baby Names

As cool as those names sound, for me to choose it as a name for my child, it would have to be more than just "pretty sounding." A strong meaning, a story, something awesome (preferably Islamic) so when the kid is like 5 and asks me "mommy, why the hell did you name me 'Aulani" I can say more than "doesn't it sound beautiful."

But you're right. They do sound pretty cool.

Aadhil is a beautiful name for a boy.
I pick names for how they sound (the combination of consonants) and their meanings. And Aadhil has a beautiful meaning too.

It's harder to name girls. Gah. I was asked to name my baby cousin and after 6-7 months of thinking, all I could come up with was "Uhhhh.... Mehreen?"
