What's In A Name? That Which We Call....

Critter is going to be legally called Critter unless we come up with a name!
I didn't realize it would be so hard to come up with one; in our case two (boy and girl names).

Both, Hubby and I want an Arabic name for Critter. A name that's soft and beautiful, but yet has a powerful meaning. Both our names begin with the letter 'H', so we figured let's find a name that begins with 'H'. We can be H to the 3rd power.

I searched every website out there for Arabic names.
The lists weren't long in the H's.....
Hasmat - like Hazardous Material? um, No
Hamas - NO!!! that's bound to get Critter a butt whopping in school.
Can't pronounce that one.
I'm not even going to try to pronounce those.

Hubby likes a particular boy's 'H' name, which I don't. I've made fun of it in so many variations.
Let's face it, as Critter's mother, if I can't pronounce its name or can easily make fun of it, Critter has no chance of surviving in school.

I didn't come across one nice name beginning with H!!!!

Our last name begins with the letter 'M'. I thought it might be cool if we found a name beginning with the letter 'A', so it's initials can be AM and if we have another child we'll give it a name that begins with the letter 'P'.
They can be known as AM and PM.

We're moving on to other letters of the alphabet or we can name it after a fruit or something really odd and people will either think we're hippies, freaks or celebrities.

    Why not just call it H

  4. Oh the name challenge. Ask for suggestions from people. Hopefully you'll come across a name you like.

  5. Don't tell people in advance what you choose. You don't need anyone else's opinion to influence you or make yoiu second guess your decision. Once the critter has the name they'll feel bad saying they don't like it.
