Yes, you are right. May Allah be pleased with you and may He The Exalted make you enter the highest level of the Paradise in company with them without being reckoning and the whole Ummah too Ameeeen

المَرءُ مع من أَحب

Ma shaa Allah , the first time for me hearing this word as a name Sub`haan Allah

it is so beautiful name (Muzzammil) ma shaa Allah, may Allah bless you my respected brother and the whole Ummah Ameeen

[Abdul-Raouf]

^^ ... Jazakllah Khair sister... Ameen.. May ALLAH bless us all.

my father selected that for me....Alhamdulillah.. from Surah Al-Muzzammil

[إحسان]

^ MashAllah, it's so beautiful and unique. I don't honestly hear it much...

Asma is also beautiful! It's also easy to pronounce... I actually quite love my name too, Dua. I don't mind if people don't say the arabic alphabet (ع) right at the end, but it should be said as do-wa/doaع

My teacher constantly distorted my name and never gets it right even though she taught me for THREE years. She called me Jew-wa once (yes, I don't know if that was to humour her or what) then she continued to distort my name saying Chew-wa. SERIOUSLY!!!! how hard is it to say DO-WA! :raging:

If I ever have a son, I think I'd like to name him Khalid. I also like the name Abu Bakr, but can you imagine attending an American school with that name? The other children would tease him mercilessly imsad And for a daughter, I like the names Khadija, Ayesha, and Fatima. Wouldn't Khalid and Khadija be adorable?

Its not actually that i dislike the name.Adnan is a good name (Name of my cousin BTW :statisfie ) I dislike they all end on same sound and majority choose such names that end on "Aan".Like in our lane,there are 3 Kamran and 2 Irfan :heated:
My sis told me that we are surrounded by Kamraans and Irfans :enough!:
