Muslim Baby Names – Always a difficult and fun experience!

My very best-friend is preparing a baby shower for her neice who’s expecting her first daughter.

And, like wow–Alhumdulilah!

How exciting…the first one in her generation to be called “Mama”!

Anyways, I remember everyone asking what names we had in line during all of my 3 (2 surprise) showers!

Hubby and I were very good…just like we said we didn’t want to know what the gender was…for the surprise, the name will be a surprise to everyone too ;-)

It was a personal and wonderful journey of figuring out our first born’s name and glad its still a highly-unique and rare name, with TONS of meaning!

It is reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and by your fathers’ names, so give yourselves good names.” (Hadith Abu Dawud).

I’m very particular, because our first born has a very unique Muslim name…and I use that as a judge to see which is the most thorough database/website to start your glorious journey ;-)

So here are some places to start:
