There's a set of siblings at my school, two boys and a girl. Adam, Aziz, and Waseela. What does everybody think, about the actual names and then how they go together? I don't really like any of the names to begin with, but Adam doesn't seem to go that well with the other two.

adam seems normal, the other seem very uncommon names. how are they even said?

Aziz is prounounced Ah-zeez. I think Waseela is prounounced Wah-si-lah. Both of them have that "ah" sound with the a's.

Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Nope, those are both correct.

Are they a Muslim family? If they are then this would make perfect sense. Because Adam is a common name in both Islam and Christianity, although I think that Adam would be pronounced Ah-dahm in this case, with long a's.

Waseela doesn't fit well with Adam and Aziz, in my opinion. A name that starts with an "A" would've fit better.

You know, I'm not sure whether or not they're Muslim, but I think that their family is from Lebanon. So...I don't know, haha. They do pronounce it Adam though, with short A's.

Ah, I see. They sound like names that are prevalent in the Middle Eastern region, so that'd make sense.

I love Adam and Aziz!

really dont like any of them. aziz is kind of ok, and i have heard it before, but i cant remember where.

Probably in the move "The Fifth Element". There is a young boy in the movie called by that name, in the first ten minutes or so.

ive never seen that movie. i think ive met someone named aziz. i like it, anyway.

Actually, these names all originate from the same place. If I am correct, while not all specifically Hebrew, the names come from the same root. Aziz is rooted in Arabic, I believe Waseela is as well. Adam, as most folks know, IS from Hebrew, which I imagine is where a lot of languages in the Middle East stem from.

Arabic Names

[crossingthesea.livejournal.com]

Arabic names with lots of cross over to Hebrew sounds because of the linguistic semitic roots and geographic crossover.

Yeah, it's definitely prn Ah-zeez...it's more or less a common name in the Arab world!
