[name_m]Hi[/name_m] all. We are expecting a baby boy within next few months, would like to ask your thoughts about name [name_m]Ibrahim[/name_m]. And what are the similar names? We really love this name, but was worried how does it sound to western ears, we live in [name_u]California[/name_u]. Thanks!
I like it! Some other ideas that might fit in better:

I agree with [name_m]Ibrahim[/name_m] being beautiful- some similarities with @anon68906791!
Living in NYC (with a turkish husband!), I’m really used to all sorts of wonderful names with different origins. So I’m not sure about what the demographic is like in your area, but I know that in a lot of the US (and california too!) it wouldn’t turn heads in a negative way at all.
[name_m]Ibrahim[/name_m] is lovely. It feels warm, friendly and solid to me.
Similar names might be…
[name_m]Ishaan[/name_m]
[name_m]Imran[/name_m]
[name_m]Ismail[/name_m]
[name_u]Salim[/name_u]
[name_u]Idris[/name_u]
[name_m]Ilyas[/name_m]
[name_m]Salman[/name_m]
[name_m]Suleiman[/name_m]
[name_m]Saif[/name_m]
[name_m]Ibrahim[/name_m] sounds great!
[name_m]Abraham[/name_m] would be much more recognizable.
