So, I was watching Food Network Challenge and one of the chocolate artists names was Tariq. I think it's pronounced 'tar-ik' or 'tark.' ((I wasn't paying enough attention...)) I've never heard that before, but I think I kind of like it. Don't know if I would use it on a child, maybe on a story character. Anyhow, WDYT?

I think Tariq is Josh Groban's guitarist's name.

I don't like it. It's fairly common though (along with Tyrique) at least around here. It's pronounced tar-eek.

I've only ever heard it on Tariqh Akoni, he's a brilliant guitar player, and I'm pretty sure he pronounces it Tar-ick.

i tend to like arabic names. this one i'm pretty neutral on but it's not bad. very common in arab countries/communities.

For a character, yes.

For a child, no..
