I knew a girl who was bisexual (probably was a lug) named "Sunshine." She was from Washington, her brother was my roommate and they were from Washington state. They're strange ass hippies.

It is an Arabic name.

Meaning:

Safety
Security
Peace

Faithful
Trustworthy


[Edited on May 26, 2012 at 2:31 AM. Reason : the first meaning is a common misconception]

5/26/2012 2:27:59 AM

^WHAT?? How is that a misconception? I have talked to MANY muslims and Arabs who say that is what it means? I do like the faithful and trustworthy meaning. I strive to be that and not mess up on that. Being human sucks ass sometimes. I want to be faithful and trustworthy. I was talking to a friend the other day who said it means honesty. She, too, is muslim.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my name.

Thanks, ddk. I ♥ you! Check my status!

i will look into it...

there are many misconceptions about meanings about popular arabic words that westerners know. for example, you will hear people (muslims and non-muslims) saying that Islam means Peace, all the time. but that's completely false. the root for Peace is similar to Islam - it is Salam. Islam actually means Submission (Submission to Allah, of course).

as for your name, i will ask my brother. reason i will ask him and not my father or any of hundreds of other arabs and muslims i know is because my brother is fluent in Classical Arabic and knows all the ins and outs of the complicated syntax and semantics of Arabic. (he is a scholar-in-training)

5/26/2012 9:24:21 AM

Lol my name can be translated one of two ways

Pure

Torture

5/26/2012 10:22:39 AM

Analise is an actual name? Annabelle is a little prissy but you'd just go by anna

hmm one of my friends is named Adelaide (adele) but she is probably the least prissy woman i know.

Alyssa is pretty prissy. Friends shortened it to Lyss freshman year in college and it just stuck. I don't like to be called Aly either.

5/26/2012 10:26:32 AM

ugh yeah that is pretty prissy.

Adelaide is an awesome name. My friend's little girl is named that. Emma, Rainer, and Adelaide are her kids names and I love all those names.

5/26/2012 10:27:55 AM

I <3 Adelaide, but my husband shot it down. So we have an Amelia.

5/26/2012 10:30:07 AM

What do you call a name like Adrianna with a long o in the middle. Its not really prissy but its like a little over the top

[Edited on May 26, 2012 at 10:33 AM. Reason : actually i guess technically its a long o sound]

5/26/2012 10:31:31 AM

The women I know named Alyssa are prissy but my friend Elisa is not.

Imagin?

You mean Imogen?

5/26/2012 10:39:21 AM

Yeah, I guess. I have never seened it written, just heard.

Her husband is British, which could have something to do with the names.

[Edited on May 26, 2012 at 10:41 AM. Reason : ...]

Really? Imogen is a pretty popular name on the other side of the pond. The name is from Shakespeare.

5/26/2012 10:42:11 AM

I do like Imogen and when it is pronounced Em-short (a)-gin.

5/26/2012 10:43:38 AM

Imogen is currently about as popular in the UK as Erica (my name) was back in the 80s. I don't think it's really a worthy name. And considering her husband is Brit, are you sure the name is Rihanna (like the pop star) or Rhianna (as in Rhiannon)? The names are completely different from an etymological standpoint. Ie. one is arabic and one is welsh.

5/26/2012 10:55:13 AM

I really like the name Amna

5/26/2012 3:30:06 PM

Yeah I don't know anything about that side of the pond. You may be right about both spellings.

5/27/2012 2:09:46 AM

I really like the name Amna

5/27/2012 2:12:39 AM

What do you guys think of the name Harper?

I think I will name my first daughter Harper.

I better hurry up cause the skin elasticity as you age is a bitch lol

5/27/2012 4:04:48 AM

theres a pretty seedy strip club in greensboro called harpers

hope that helps

[Edited on May 27, 2012 at 4:18 AM. Reason : also the other kids in middle school will call her Harpes]

[Edited on May 27, 2012 at 4:18 AM. Reason : typing is hard]

5/27/2012 4:17:13 AM

You are right. And now that I think about it, it's too close to HARPO. Oprah spelled backwards. I am not a fan of Oprah.

I found out. I was wrong, you were right. There are two very similar names and I got confused between the two. Note however, that the spelling "Amna" cannot convey the correct Arabic pronunciation of the name. It is close enough though, and most people use it like that, including Arabs and Muslims.

So, here are the two names, first one being yours:

Amina
Pronunciation: A as in fAther, MI as in MInute, NA as in NArc
Meaning: one who feels safe/secure, one who is at peace

Ameena
Pronunciation: A as in cUt, MEE as in MEEt, NA as in NArc
Meaning: one who is trustworthy/honest, one who keeps promises
