I am looking for common female names for Muslims and Christians. Please suggest some names which are common in both Muslims and Christians, but not in Jews.
What are some common female names for both Muslims and Christians, but not Jews?
Maria comes in both religion...in islam also and in christian also...jews don't have maria...there is also one more..sania...i idk....but christian also have this name.......and muslim have have it.. it's not jew name... hope i helped....but i still helped... : ))
Reply:A name i always Like is Yasmeen- Islam and Jasmin for Christians.
Im not sure if you wanted the same names for Muslims and Christians, but the above one is the only other one that I can think of now. otherwise common Muslim names where I live is Ayesha, Shakira, Fatima, Safia. Christian Names... Christine, Lizel, Kirsty,
Reply:Mariam is the Hebrew form of the name and it's common among Jews and might be the origin of the name Maria and Mary. So while jews might name their daughters Mariam they wouldn't name them Mary in most cases because thats Jesus Christ's (Isa) mothers name and that would be heretical and repugnant to them.
Reply:Well, what about Michelle? The islamic version is spelt Mashaal but it's pronounced the same, and really, you can spell it any way you want. It means radiant.
Then there's Rose and Roz (Roz is an afghani name, I think.) Again, they're pronounced the same, and I think Roz looks more cool.
My friend is Samra but we call her sam. I'll think of more and get back if I do.

I'm not sure about that, but it does sounds nice, Maria.
I would name my child that ;)

Why do some parents give their kids really common names?
No offense to you parents who like the more traditional names, but it seems that there are MILLIONS of kids named Michael and Brittany. I'm not saying that parents should name their kids after "Star Trek" characters, but I can't help but think that if a kid has a less common name, he'll have a stronger sense of individuality. Also, he would know when he was being addressed when he heard his name being called.
Why do some parents give their kids really common names?
When I was about 15 years old I was looking through a book of names when I stumbled across a name I considered to be virtually one of a kind. The name was Royd (I checked my spelling three times, it's correct). It means master of the woods, or if you prefer, master woodsman. I knew right then that if I fathered a boy, the first one would have that name. I was fortunate enough to have a son and I named him accordingly.
When my son turned 18 I told him how his first and middle name (that's another story) came about, then I made him an offer. I would pay the court costs if he wanted to change his name. My son was polite when he told me I was crazy. He had a name that he had only known one other person to have. He liked not sharing his name with half of the world's population and that he would only change his name after a fight and then only if I won. He basically told me, when I chose his names, I did good and that I should leave it alone.
Well that warmed my heart in a way that only a son can do. He is almost 30 years old now and we are FRIENDS. Can you imagine how great that is???
Reply:Why would someone want to name their children unusual names? It has been proven that those children have been shown to suffer many social disorders, psycological issues, and even discrimination later in life moreso than those with "socially acceptable" names?
I can understand the desire to give a child their own sense of identity, to make them stand out from the rest, I really do. But honestly, it should be the childs decision to stand out, not something they inherit at birth. A name can be so essential on a subconscience level in a childs growth.
Am I making any sense? I see so many people on here that ask for opinions on certain names, and I sometimes shake my head knowing that the child will most likely not only have a rough childhood, but adulthood as well. I know this isn't always the case; But are you, as caring and loving parent, willing to take that chance?
Reply:You have the opportunity as an adult to change your name to whatever pleases you.
Reply:One reason could be that the parent lacks creativity. Or the common name is a family name. A kid with a unique name doesn't always face a strong sense of individually - more likely he'll face ridicule from his calss mates. Growing up, my name wasn't exactly as common as it is now, and I wasn't fond of that - although hearing what the alternatives were from Mom, I am content with what I have. My boyfriend actually had his name legally changed after high school, before entering boot camp due to the ridicule he faced...not that his name was very unique - but it's not an every day kids' name. And let's not forget...sometimes with unique names, the pronunciations can be confusing. That's not good...my last name has a common pronunciation, but an uncommon spelling which has led to more than 30 years of me hearing my name butchered.
Reply:What I name my child is my decision and no one elses. My daughter is Jennifer Robin, she goes by Robin. Jennifer is a family name and we both agreed on Robin. I would rather name my child something nice and simple rather than something they will get teased about during school years. We are our children what we do for us and no one else.
Reply:ITS BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING THAT THEY LIKE
Reply:yes...i do agree strongly to that bcoz mine in one of the most most common name in my country...during my college days..out of 60,11 had my name and infact was deprived of my individuality...i often used to ask my parents why they did so...but they say it was popular then and that they didnt have enough to think about a good name for their child..! i feel most of them let go easily...
after experiancing how a common name would effect my life,i surely name my kids with a different,yet very meaning ful name..
thanks that there are people like me..!!!
Reply:Traditional names are easy to pronounce, so they won't have trouble being called back for job interviews and such.
Reply:Remember this: A child's name says less about that child's personality and more about the parents'.
It is personal choice that many people put a lot of thought into. I prefer common but not too popular names which is the route I chose for my son - only to find out later that his name was the third most popular for that year - lol.
When naming your child one must also consider that she will not always be cute, little Tiffy and will need to find a job and be taken seriously as an adult. And many people with radically unique names are finding difficulty as they are being passed over for jobs.
My son may have a common name but he will be raised with a strong sense of being himself. Also, look at the other side. I grew up with a less common name and kids teased the heck out of me for it.
Choose a name for your child that fits him or her and you and raise that child to be proud of it.
Reply:I chose what you would consider to be common names for my children, but they were chosen for their meanings. My daughter is named Angela Dawn which means messenger of the morn. Funny thing, she was born at 12:17 a.m. My son is named Michael Aaron. Michael means who is like God and Aaron means exalted or strong. Michael was an archangel and Aaron was the brother of Moses. This is a strong name. I am now pregnant with my third and she is to be named Jana Joy. I had a really good friend in high school with the name Jana and it is a name that is well liked among both of our families. If it had been a boy, he was going to be named Joshua David after a cousin of mine who died at the age of 16 and a cousin of my husbands who died at the age of 13, but also because of the strong meanings behind the names. I did not choose lightly, nor was I being non-creative. These are strong names for strong children.
Reply:The same reason that someone would choose a less common name for their child, because they like it.
Reply:I think there are a couple of theories of naming which reflect a larger philosophical position. Basically, do you want to tell your child he is special with an unusual name, or do you want to help your child to fit in with a common name? The bad thing about each position is that it tends not to look at the down side of either style. The down side of an unusual name is people spelling and/or pronouncing it wrong. But lots of people recognize that even though it gets tiresome, if you have a pleasant attitude about it, by the time they've learned to spell and pronounce it right, they probably will remember it. The bad thing about a common name is that there is usually at least one other kid in every class with the same name, and you get confused. And it's quite forgettable: now was it Tom or Eddie or Richard or Steven? [my four ex-husbands; have to work at remembering] Or you just seem boring, which is sad, even if you are the type that wants to fit in.
But remember that you can legally change your name when you reach adulthood, and can create a nickname you like better than your given name at any age. You can also go to using first initial and middle name if you like that better, as long as you don't mind sounding sort of like an attorney when it's written out.
The ones I really feel bad for are the ones who were named for someone famous, and they don't like that famous person. My father's middle name was Calvin, after Calvin Coolidge, but he hated it. I, on the other hand, love being named after Barbara Stanwyck, a very classy lady and great actress.
Reply:I dont think its anyones business what parents name their kids, least of all your business.
With all the kids being called orion and miford these days, its refreshing to hear some solid family names still being used.
Reply:I have a matthieu and an aiden. Both named after family. A name will not make the child any different. its all in the way he/she is raised and where he/she grows up. My sisters name is brittany and she is the most strong willed person i have ever met.
Reply:huh.....isn't up to the parents to teach thier child how to be an idividual no matter what their name is ?
Reply:Sometimes you don't know just how common a name is when you choose it! We picked the name Caitlin 17 years ago, it seemed unusual....then we started hearing it everywhere. Also, chose Jacob 5 years ago, then found out that it was the #1 boys name that year. You really have to just decide on a name that you really like, and hope that everybody else doesn't feel the same way!
Reply:Not for nothing but I don't know alot of Michael's or Brittany's. My kids have been in the public school system for 7 years and neither of those names are overly common. I don't even think either of my kids ever even knew someone named Brittany.
Reply:There is nothing wrong with common names and no it does not have to do with lack of imagination. I resent that.
I have 3 kids with common names and they are well adjusted kids who do not have any problems with their individuality.
They were nemaed for relatives who have passed in our family so if they are common names, so be it.

Reply:well, i choose a simple name, but it wasnt common at the time,,, Amanda,,,,,,, little did i know many others during the mid 80's were choosing it also, lol,,,,, the reason i wanted a simple name is that my child was named with her own name,,,,,,, plus 3 middle names (for me, my mom, and grandmom) and my last name was simple,,,,,, but i thought the whole combination would be unusal,,,,
Reply:HEHEHE, I HAVE A DAUGHTER NAMED ELIZABETH(MY OTHER DAUGHTER JHOANNA NAMED HER JUST TO CALL HER LIZZIE OR ELIZA) AND A SON NAMED BRANDEN KAL-EL, NOT QUITE STARTREK BUT SUPERMAN IS JUST AS CRAZY.(KALEL IS SUPERMANS BIRTH NAME)
Reply:what may sound like a common name to you, holds a stronger meaning to somebody else.
The name Michael where micha - means messenger and El - means God .... means messenger of God. Don't know if you're aware of this but Michael is the name of one of the archangels.
So.... alot of what may sound like common names have very strong meanings. Maybe not to you..... but to the giver ofthe name ( and hopefully the bearer) :)
Reply:some people call there kids after themselves or their parents,thats why you have so many johns and davids and such,i called my son after his dad but my girls are called justine and robyn i don't think that they are too common.
Reply:It's all a matter of personal choice; not trying to please everyone else - like you. No offense.
Reply:whats in a name. nothing.
Reply:It's not a contest to see who can come up with the most original name. Having a "different" sounding name can also be a pain because you constantly have to tell people how to pronounce it or how to spell it.
Reply:Maybe they lack imagination.

Basically, do you want to tell your child he is special with an unusual name, or do you want to help your child to fit in with a common name? The bad thing about each position is that it tends not to look at the down side of either style. The down side of an unusual name is people spelling and/or pronouncing it wrong. But lots of people recognize that even though it gets tiresome, if you have a pleasant attitude about it, by the time they've learned to spell and pronounce it right, they probably will remember it. The bad thing about a common name is that there is usually at least one other kid in every class with the same name, and you get confused. And it's quite forgettable: now was it Tom or Eddie or Richard or Steven? [my four ex-husbands; have to work at remembering] Or you just seem boring, which is sad, even if you are the type that wants to fit in.
But remember that you can legally change your name when you reach adulthood, and can create a nickname you like better than your given name at any age. You can also go to using first initial and middle name if you like that better, as long as you don't mind sounding sort of like an attorney when it's written out.
The ones I really feel bad for are the ones who were named for someone famous, and they don't like that famous person. My father's middle name was Calvin, after Calvin Coolidge, but he hated it. I, on the other hand, love being named after Barbara Stanwyck, a very classy lady and great actress.
Reply:I dont think its anyones business what parents name their kids, least of all your business.
With all the kids being called orion and miford these days, its refreshing to hear some solid family names still being used.
Reply:I have a matthieu and an aiden. Both named after family. A name will not make the child any different. its all in the way he/she is raised and where he/she grows up. My sisters name is brittany and she is the most strong willed person i have ever met.
Reply:huh.....isn't up to the parents to teach thier child how to be an idividual no matter what their name is ?
Reply:Sometimes you don't know just how common a name is when you choose it! We picked the name Caitlin 17 years ago, it seemed unusual....then we started hearing it everywhere. Also, chose Jacob 5 years ago, then found out that it was the #1 boys name that year. You really have to just decide on a name that you really like, and hope that everybody else doesn't feel the same way!
Reply:Not for nothing but I don't know alot of Michael's or Brittany's. My kids have been in the public school system for 7 years and neither of those names are overly common. I don't even think either of my kids ever even knew someone named Brittany.
Reply:There is nothing wrong with common names and no it does not have to do with lack of imagination. I resent that.
I have 3 kids with common names and they are well adjusted kids who do not have any problems with their individuality.
They were nemaed for relatives who have passed in our family so if they are common names, so be it.

Reply:what may sound like a common name to you, holds a stronger meaning to somebody else.
The name Michael where micha - means messenger and El - means God .... means messenger of God. Don't know if you're aware of this but Michael is the name of one of the archangels.
So.... alot of what may sound like common names have very strong meanings. Maybe not to you..... but to the giver ofthe name ( and hopefully the bearer) :)

Why do some parents give their kids really common names?
When I was about 15 years old I was looking through a book of names when I stumbled across a name I considered to be virtually one of a kind. The name was Royd (I checked my spelling three times, it's correct). It means master of the woods, or if you prefer, master woodsman. I knew right then that if I fathered a boy, the first one would have that name. I was fortunate enough to have a son and I named him accordingly.
When my son turned 18 I told him how his first and middle name (that's another story) came about, then I made him an offer. I would pay the court costs if he wanted to change his name. My son was polite when he told me I was crazy. He had a name that he had only known one other person to have. He liked not sharing his name with half of the world's population and that he would only change his name after a fight and then only if I won. He basically told me, when I chose his names, I did good and that I should leave it alone.
Well that warmed my heart in a way that only a son can do. He is almost 30 years old now and we are FRIENDS. Can you imagine how great that is???
Reply:Why would someone want to name their children unusual names? It has been proven that those children have been shown to suffer many social disorders, psycological issues, and even discrimination later in life moreso than those with "socially acceptable" names?
I can understand the desire to give a child their own sense of identity, to make them stand out from the rest, I really do. But honestly, it should be the childs decision to stand out, not something they inherit at birth. A name can be so essential on a subconscience level in a childs growth.
Am I making any sense? I see so many people on here that ask for opinions on certain names, and I sometimes shake my head knowing that the child will most likely not only have a rough childhood, but adulthood as well. I know this isn't always the case; But are you, as caring and loving parent, willing to take that chance?
Reply:You have the opportunity as an adult to change your name to whatever pleases you.
Reply:One reason could be that the parent lacks creativity. Or the common name is a family name. A kid with a unique name doesn't always face a strong sense of individually - more likely he'll face ridicule from his calss mates. Growing up, my name wasn't exactly as common as it is now, and I wasn't fond of that - although hearing what the alternatives were from Mom, I am content with what I have. My boyfriend actually had his name legally changed after high school, before entering boot camp due to the ridicule he faced...not that his name was very unique - but it's not an every day kids' name. And let's not forget...sometimes with unique names, the pronunciations can be confusing. That's not good...my last name has a common pronunciation, but an uncommon spelling which has led to more than 30 years of me hearing my name butchered.
Reply:What I name my child is my decision and no one elses. My daughter is Jennifer Robin, she goes by Robin. Jennifer is a family name and we both agreed on Robin. I would rather name my child something nice and simple rather than something they will get teased about during school years. We are our children what we do for us and no one else.
Reply:ITS BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING THAT THEY LIKE
Reply:yes...i do agree strongly to that bcoz mine in one of the most most common name in my country...during my college days..out of 60,11 had my name and infact was deprived of my individuality...i often used to ask my parents why they did so...but they say it was popular then and that they didnt have enough to think about a good name for their child..! i feel most of them let go easily...
after experiancing how a common name would effect my life,i surely name my kids with a different,yet very meaning ful name..
thanks that there are people like me..!!!
Reply:Traditional names are easy to pronounce, so they won't have trouble being called back for job interviews and such.
Reply:Remember this: A child's name says less about that child's personality and more about the parents'.
It is personal choice that many people put a lot of thought into. I prefer common but not too popular names which is the route I chose for my son - only to find out later that his name was the third most popular for that year - lol.
When naming your child one must also consider that she will not always be cute, little Tiffy and will need to find a job and be taken seriously as an adult. And many people with radically unique names are finding difficulty as they are being passed over for jobs.
My son may have a common name but he will be raised with a strong sense of being himself. Also, look at the other side. I grew up with a less common name and kids teased the heck out of me for it.
Choose a name for your child that fits him or her and you and raise that child to be proud of it.
Reply:I chose what you would consider to be common names for my children, but they were chosen for their meanings. My daughter is named Angela Dawn which means messenger of the morn. Funny thing, she was born at 12:17 a.m. My son is named Michael Aaron. Michael means who is like God and Aaron means exalted or strong. Michael was an archangel and Aaron was the brother of Moses. This is a strong name. I am now pregnant with my third and she is to be named Jana Joy. I had a really good friend in high school with the name Jana and it is a name that is well liked among both of our families. If it had been a boy, he was going to be named Joshua David after a cousin of mine who died at the age of 16 and a cousin of my husbands who died at the age of 13, but also because of the strong meanings behind the names. I did not choose lightly, nor was I being non-creative. These are strong names for strong children.

How come Jones and Jenkins are common Welsh names but there is no J in the Welsh alphabet?
Jones is the most common surname in Wales because of the anglicisation of patronymic surnames e.g. Gwilym ap Sion to Gwilym Jones.
How come Jones and Jenkins are common Welsh names but there is no J in the Welsh alphabet?
The conquerors changed the names of the conquered. That is how Dewi and Dafydd became David; Ioan and Sion became John and Jones; Siwan became Jane; Siencyn became Jenkin and Jenkins; Huw became Hugh and Hughes; ab Owen and ab Rhys became Bowen and Prys, and thereafter Price or Pryce. There were no 'J's, 'X's or .Q's in the past ! The conquerors changed the names of the Red Indians too !
Reply:I am welsh myself but this is something i have never really thought about! Good question!
Reply:Because of the typical Welsh confusing everybody
Reply:Cos they're spelled differently in Welsh.
Reply:Welsh names like "Jones" and "Jenkins" were introduced from England and are variations of the name "John" which was originally Norman French from Latin Johannes. Norman French had a 'j' sound while the native Celtic and Anglo-Saxon languages of the British Isles did not.
Both names arrived in Wales relatively late. Very few Europeans had last names before the 16th century. They didn't really come into existence until there was middle class that had some income and property. Prior to that, most Celtic speaking peoples had clan names. Some of these clan names later became last names. They usually start with Ap or P in Welsh (ApRhys %26gt; Price, ApHugh%26gt; Pugh, ApHerry %26gt; Perry or Mc and Mac in Irish and Scottish.
Jenkins originally meant "Son of Little John" as far as I know.

What are the common names for 'fibrous','cartilaginous' and 'synovial'?

There are no common names for these terms. They are precise scientific terms. There are many different types of synovial joint with different ranges of movement

Reply:Synovial joints are usually freely moveable (within the constraints of the joint they are in). They contain synovial fluid which helps with the smoothness of movement, acts as a buffer against mechanical shock and avoids friction. Examples of synovial joints include:
Hip joint (ball and socket joint)
Elbow joint (hinge joint)
Reply:They are different things related to movement of the skeleton, vaguely 'connective tissues'
A synovial joint facilitates movement, the degree depends on which joint but I do not know of any fixed synovial joints.
