When you name your children, you don't know if he will be a CEO or whatever...Chou khass???Enno the person have the right to change her name eza fiyo chi ghalat or if it is not appropriate with his job later on...
In France per example, several people changed there names:

For being like insults : Mr LaFesse, Mme putain...
Or for being unappropriate with the job : Mr Larnac who works in insurance
Mme Piquemal infirmière
Mr Boucher chirurgien

It is not a joke, c'est des cas qui sont passés en justice et ils ont eu le droit de changer leurs noms...

I wish to have 4 kids: 2 boys and 2 girls (if God will). And I like to name them:

Boys:

1- ELIE, ELIAS or ELIO: My father's name; Furthermore, St. ELIE is my guardian Saint.
2- RAYAN: I like arabic names for guys. Rayan means noble.

Girls:

1- MARIA: I like to name her after the name of the "Mother of Christ".
2- TATIANA: Simply because it has a musical sound. I don't even know the meaning.


NB: (Subject to changes if my wife did not agree ... But ELIE is a must).


THKS.

Renard, nice names!
Ana I won't name my son after my father in law if I don't like it.. it's silly! If my father in law is bad, people would hate my kid!
Plus, let some creativity enter the family!!!! If his name is Nizar or sa3id or whatever.. imagine my kid who'd be cute and adorable hek y3aytoulo!

Why you are defending your name in this way, who told you that with zouzou coralie was attacking joseph??? As for me, I will name my son joe, or joseph but never youssef, even if it's the same...
