Looking for a baby boy name - mama is Canadian, dad is Lebanese catholic!

Hey everyone,
My husband is Lebanese catholic and I am purely Canadian. We are looking for a name for our baby boy that can kind of blend the two together, or an Arabic name that is more “westernized”. All suggestions are greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

First thing that came to mind was Idris or Faris/Ferris

[name_m]Idris[/name_m] and [name_m]Zayn[/name_m] from pp are great suggestions

[name_m]Kamal[/name_m], [name_m]Rami[/name_m], Ayman, [name_m]Rafi[/name_m], [name_m]Adam[/name_m], [name_m]Ishmael[/name_m]/[name_m]Ismail[/name_m], Ilyas and [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] came to mind

One of my oldest friends is catholic Lebanese and she named her boys [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_m]Raphael[/name_m]. [name_m]George[/name_m] is according to her the epitome of Lebanese catholic because St. [name_m]George[/name_m] is said to have been born in Lebanon and is an important cultural and religious figure. [name_m]Raphael[/name_m] is a family name and also well-used in Lebanon. I remember the likes of [name_u]Antoine[/name_u], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_u]Cedar[/name_u] also on her list.

Seconding [name_m]Rafi[/name_m], [name_m]Rami[/name_m], [name_m]Idris[/name_m] and [name_m]Adam[/name_m]. Adding [name_u]Sami[/name_u], [name_m]Ramzi[/name_m] and [name_m]Rayan[/name_m].
