Thinking About Using an Unusual Muslim Baby Name

 Imagine, a parent named their child K-XE-19-07. While it seemed unusual at the time of name keeping ceremony, how unusual it will sound when the child will go to school, college and enter the professional life. The child as an adult will only be embarrassed and may be forced to hide his real name only to replace it with a simpler one. This is exactly why it is highly stressed that you choose simple and elegant Islamic names for your baby. 

Always choose a well-meaning Muslim Baby Name:

In Islam, it is advised to only choose Muslim baby names that sound and mean well. The names should not hurt anyone’s feelings or must not be hurtful to anyone’s personality. Our beloved Holy Prophet (PBUH) has also advised us to keep well-meaning names. However, many parents today—due to mixed cultural and traditional difference—opt for modern baby names that often sound and mean very different from the norms. The unique baby names can be based upon new trends that settle in really quickly only to leave the baby with an uncommon name.

So What Kind of Names should You Avoid?

Honestly, all kind of names you think might sound abnormal in the later stages of your child’s life. He or she has to go to school, do a job or business and marry someone. Having an unusual name will only make him or her feel embarrassed in front of his or her acquaintances. But where do uncommon baby names comes from? Well, for starters, these unique boy names may come from a fictional character. Parents who love sci-fi movies may opt-in for abnormal baby names that may sound cool to them but in actual are really different when compared to the norms.

Where do Unusual Baby Names Come From?

Another source of finding and choosing unusual baby names is borrowing baby names from other languages, origins and cultures. For example, if you’re living in South East Asia and decide to choose a Turkish baby name for your child, it is going to be really hard for others to pronounce as they won’t be familiar with the pronunciation or grammar of that specific language. This will result in a twisted version of your baby’s name. That is why it is highly recommended that you choose a well-meaning Islamic name for your baby which is not only simple but also convenient for others to pronounce.

If you Must Insist

Even if you insist on choosing a different and uncommon baby name, you should put a lot of thought in the process. While it is slightly fine to borrow a name from other ethnicity, it will be wrong to choose names that are too difficult on the tongue.
