It’s always sounded funny to me and not very usable. Not a fan.

I love this name and its meaning. [name_f]Habiba[/name_f] is lovely too.
It means ‘sweetheart’ in Arabic (or other similar affectionate terms) so I think it would be a weird choice if you aren’t connected to the culture.
If you are, I like it. The meaning is very sweet.

I like the meaning, although I agree with @EagleEyes that it’d be weird to name a baby this if there isn’t any Arabic heritage.
You can’t deny it’s cute, though

It feels more like a pet name than a given name, but I’m not Arabic, so I wouldn’t know.
From your posts, you are mostly interested in Arabic names, so you would know better than me!
If you’re Muslim, it’s a solid choice.
To everyone saying «I shouldnt use it cause im not arabic»
I’m not arabic, but i’m a muslim
Many muslims give their children arabic names ([name_m]Even[/name_m] tough they are not arabic) because of many different reasons one of them could be that arabic is the language of the Quran so it just feels right for them.
But i think it’s sooo good that y’all care about cultural appropriation. It is a very important topic for me too

I totally forgot about that, and I’ll change my post to reflect that

I think it’s a good name and I like the meaning. Khabib Nurmagomedov is a cool association (Khabib is the Dagestani spelling).
I like the name, it’s sooo sweet and the meaning 
i would totally say go for it, if you love it.
It sounds slightly awkward to me

I like it and it has a really lovely meaning
Although, depending on where you live, it could be misread as ha-bib rather than ha-beeb, but it’ll be an easy correction to make
I’ve met a few Habibs who were all Somali so I tend to see it as a Somali name even though I know it’s Arabic and can be used by any Islamic person regardless of where they’re from
I like it. It’s out of the box thinking. Go for it if that name sounds cool to you.
Agree with this! I know a really lovely [name_f]Habiba[/name_f] and have always admired her name. I do prefer the feminine form but [name_m]Habib[/name_m] seems like a solid choice and not silly sounding at all.

I like the sound more than the looks. In print, [name_m]Habib[/name_m] looks like bib to me, as in a baby’s bib.
I think [name_m]Habib[/name_m] is a really solid choice for a little boy being born in a Muslim household, very upbeat name with a great meaning. I also really like [name_f]Habiba[/name_f] for a girl.
