Place of birth: Amman, Jordan
Date of christening: -
Place of christening: -
Godparents: N/A

Other information of note: they have a very simple naming ceremony in Jordan; it's not like a christening or a baptism. I believe they just have a family gathering wherein the baby is dressed in nice clothes, and they officially announce the name the parents have selected for the baby--Nothing major, very simple. Another thing of note is that when boys are born in Arab countries they often have bin as their middle name, bin simply means son, bin is always followed by the father's name.
