Friends and family,

Baby #2 (BOY) is arriving soon and we now need to have a serious think of name. It will have to be of Arabic origin, be short and sound somewhat ‘international’. We are currently thinking of 5 possible names. Please cast your vote to let us know your favorite.

Thanks!

Amis et membres de la famille,

Bébé No 2 (GARCON) arrive bientôt et nous devons penser sérieusement à un prénom. Nous préférons les prénoms courts, d’origine Arabe et à sonorité ‘internationale’. En ce moment, nous pensons à 5 prénoms en particulier. Nous aimerons connaitre votre favori via ce sondage.

Merci!

Paki & other names

Zayd is fascinated with names.

When we watch a movie such as ‘Madagascar’ or ‘Cars’, he keeps on asking about the names of each and every character. And from time to time, he would come up with questions like

What is the blue car’s name again? You know Lightening McQueen’s friend?

Thank God for Wikipedia where we find all the correct answers !

He also like coming up with names, and the ones he inventes sound really nice (my favourite being Talaka). One of the most important ones he kept bringing up in the last couple of months is Paki, his imaginary brother’s name. In his eyes, Paki is the most ’successful’ person on the planet. Paki can do things that Zayd will only be able to do when he is much older. Paki can drive, has a car, can ride a two-wheeled bike, has a horse, can pronounce complicated words…etc.

Zayd is also helping us choose a name for his little brother who is due next February. The latest choice being ‘Jacky Kais’
