Q: Should the future presidential candidates change their Jewish names to Muslim ones so they can win?
Foreign Jewish names like John and Sarah couldn't defeat the changing America and Barrack Hussein Obama won them by a land slide as a result. When should America break the tradition of naming our kids Jewish and change it to more suitable Muslim names for the future so we wouldn't get persecuted for having weird sounding names like Joe Wurzelbecheslovsky?

A: This is a really stupid question. Obama didn't win because of his name. He won in spite of his name, so your premise that a Muslim name is an advantage is incorrect. It's a wonderful sign that enough Americans have broken free from prejudice that he was elected in spite of the fact that he has a foreign sounding name. I am sorry that you seem to find something wrong with this. And I am sorry that you chose to put your prejudice and bigotry on display like this.

Q: Easy to pronounce Arabic/Muslim names for boys?
Can you give me some suggestions for easy to pronounce Arabic names for a boy? I like names like Adam, Dean, etc. names that can be pronounced easily in English and Arabic but that also mean something powerful.

A: So I think you're actually asking for American boy's names that can basically double as Arab names with a slight change in pronunciation. If so, I'd suggest these options... 1) Adam (which u mentioned)-----> like Arabic "Adham" **2) Asher-----> like Arabic "Ashura" (refers to a month of the Islamic calendar) **3) Basil----> means "brave" in Arabic, but is also a Western name. *4) Kaden----> means "friend, companion, confidant" in Arabic, but is also a trendy, modern Western name. **5) Sammy----> like Arabic "Sami," which means "on high, exalted." It is a nickname of "Samuel," which is of Hebrew origin and means "God heard". Also possibly as "requested of God", "God's heart" or "God's name". Biblical: the prophet and judge who anointed Saul and David as kings of Israel. **6) Danny-----> like Arabic "Dani," which means "near, close." **7) Zane-----> like Arabic "Zain," which means "beauty." **8) Ferris-----> like Arabic "Faris," which means "knight." ** = the name has a nice meaning in both Arabic and non-Arabic languages. * = the name has a nice meaning in Arabic, but there is no clear meaning in non-Arabic languages. Instead, it's just a modern/trendy, new name. Hope this helps!

Q: Muslims, can you help me with a question about Muslim names?
If someone is named Muhammad Hadi, for example, what do people normally call him on a day to day basis. Would his friends and family call him just Muhammad, just Hadi, or Muhammad Hadi? Thanks so much for your help!

A: Nicknames names can be very bad, especially if the name is very significant and holds a very islamic and strong meaning. So i'd say stay away from it. But referring to the person as either muhammad or hadi i tink is fine.
