How We Came Up With the Name

     As is the rule for my children, we want names that are two syllables or less, easy to pronounce, and Muslim names.

We whittled down a list of boys names and girls names since we did not know the gender before the delivery.   The delivery came early and the only thing we had ready was the name. No car seat, crib, diapers, but we did have a name ready.

There was nothing unique or any special story behind the name, we just liked the way it sounded and thought it was easy enough to pronounce.
