What goes well with Hussein?

Boy Names
1

Hello, everyone!

It seems like my partner and I are stuck. He’s adamant on calling our baby boy [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] due to religious & cultural reasons. I can’t say I hate the name, but I can’t say it’s my favorite. Been trying to find a compromise for what seems like an eternity, but nothing is good enough to replace the [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]. The only option left is to give the kid a double name. And this is where I have a problem. I can’t seem to find any nice combinations, at least those that would include a European name. So far, all I could think of is [name_m]Zack[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] or [name_u]Nick[/name_u] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]. Can somebody please give any other suggestions because I am honestly on my last nerve.

Thank you guys.

Hmm, I think you’re on the right track with something short in front of [name_m]Hussein[/name_m].

[name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]George[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_u]Max[/name_u] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]

I second [name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]! [name_m]Adam[/name_m] is a great cross-over name, European and Arabic at the same time. The combo doesn’t look ‘mismatched’ like a solely European name does with [name_m]Hussein[/name_m].

Although people could probably make it rhyme with Saddam Hussein… I just thought of that. Hmm. Alternative suggestion: Omar Hussein.

I’d be going with something Arabic but “set on easy” as it were. Zain/Zane, Malik, Tariq, Khalil, Kamil, Kareem… one that people know lots of (I swear I know six of each…) and that maybe your DH will like enough that you don’t have to use the Hussein all that much.

Personally I really like the idea of Malik H. Lastname or Zain H. Lastname.

Something like Liam Hussein where it doesn’t relate at all just sounds odd to me.

But if you really want something European I think I would go with Joseph Hussein, Michael Hussein, something like that, a classic Biblical name with a Arabic parallel, to create a balance.

Byron Hussein sounds like you ALMOST named after the President but then gave it up?

@ stripedsocks: I completely agree with you. Except for [name_m]Zain[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] is very rhymey.

[name_m]Malik[/name_m], [name_m]Tariq[/name_m] and [name_m]Omar[/name_m] are my favourite ‘easy Arabic’ names.

7

I know it is but I love it so much… I couldn’t help it. And I sorta wanted to nudge [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] towards only a middle name… I know what you mean though.

[name_m]Malik[/name_m] or [name_m]Tariq[/name_m] would have better flow, yeah.

8

Maybe [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] with the nn [name_m]Zain[/name_m]? I know it’s not the exact sounds but it’s close enough it could work.

9

I actually think that works really great. [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zain[/name_m]/Zein

If you did a double barrel with a Z name it would name even more sense:
Ziad-[name_m]Hussein[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zain[/name_m]
[name_u]Zahir[/name_u]-[name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]Zaid[/name_m]-[name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]Zahid[/name_m]-[name_m]Hussein[/name_m]
[name_m]Zadok[/name_m]-[name_m]Hussein[/name_m]

[name_f]My[/name_f] fave is [name_m]Zaid[/name_m]

Forgive me if this is completely off, but it just popped into my head. I have a friend named Parikh and thought Parikh [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] flows well.

11

I like [name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] and [name_m]Malik[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]. What about [name_m]Matthew[/name_m]?

12

sorry, but I think [name_m]Adam[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m] is a bit too close to Saddam [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]

Hey guys!

Well I’m so schoked to say but this was the quickest decision ever!
[name_m]Liam[/name_m] [name_m]Hussein[/name_m]. It goes well with the last name and has the perfect meaning to be a proper neighboring name to [name_m]Hussein[/name_m].
Thank you all for such amazing suggestions.

P.S.: my number 2 would be [name_m]Zayne[/name_m], but it’s just a tad too rhymey like something from a children’s song and number 3 would be [name_m]Adam[/name_m], but again, too close to Saddam.

Is this for real?

So real. I don’t know what happened. But he was hypnotized right away. However, I will keep a plan B (thanks to all of the ideas from everyone here) up my sleeve just in case.
