Fatima (love that name) and Rashid.

How does one pronounce Saeed? Is it like Sayid pronounced like the writer Edward Wadie Said?

Yes ,GlitteringTiaras:flowers:;).
It is pronounced Sayid,sometimes Sait:flowers: but not like Edward Wadie Said.This is a little different.I am not Arab ,I am Turkish. I hope one Arab Friend can help us.:rolleyes:

and I hope I helped you.:rolleyes:
 
Yes, you did, TD.

But I always pronounced Edward Said's last name, Sayid. I guess I was wrong all those years.:D But I'm glad to know my Prof.'s never dinged me for it when I studied Said's work as well as other key people in Middle Eastern history such as Ibn Darraj, Abu 'I-Hasan, and al Mansur.
 
I like the name Hamdan and everything else having to do with Hamdan!
 
Fatima and Maryam for the girls. Ahmed and Rashid for the boys.
 
I don't like any of the boys names and the only girls name I like is Manal.
 
Hamdan, and then Hind are the best names
 
Latifah - Maryam - Sheikha

Maktoum - Majed - Mohammed - Saeed
 
Maitha and Shamma :flowers:

And the boys names ... well, I wish there was one called Karim ... this would be nice.
 
I quite like the name "Hind"
I find the name AlJalilah quite heavy.
Other names that I like are Maryam, Sheikha & Latifa.
 
Maryem, Latifa, Hussa & Hind

Ahmed, Majid & Saeed
 
Hind and Majid are my favorite ..
 
How to pronounce Saeed

Saeed and Sayid are two different names completely. They have different root letters and so will even differ in meaning. Sayyid mean prince while Saeed means happiness. Adding the feminine taa at the end "ad" will make these names/words feminine- Sayyidah and Saeedah.

Saeed's 'a' is a special throat letter called 'ain' and is written like a number 3 when it is not pre- or sub-joined to any letter.

so first syllable is "sa"
the second syllable is followed by the strong throat letter which i will identify with an apostrophe: 'eed.

Sa - 'eeeeeeed

thats how it is pronounced.

** I am not fluent in Arabic nor is it my first language, by this I do know. :flowers:
