Would you ever?
I was thinking about my name. Mona.. what it means.. and do I actually like my name? Does my name effect who I am? I always liked my name for several reasons. It is easy to say, an international name, and has a simple meaning in Arabic. It means a wish or desire. However, a lot of times I don’t like my name and I don’t even like telling people my name.
First off, I don’t like my name because it is too famous. I don’t like my name because people in English speaking countries say it differently than the rest of the world that it lost all meaning. In English it is pronounces “mowna”, and in Arabic and other countries it is pronounced “muna.”
So what name would I have preferred?
My niece if named Malak (Angel). Who named her? Me. I named her that because I always wanted my name to be Malak instead of Mona. I really wanted that name. So I was thrilled that my niece was named that.
Now, I can’t do anything about my name. I got to live with it. Although I know that you can legally change your name. But why would I insult my parents cause of a name change?
So I always thought of my favourite names. I like the names Meriam, Noura, Layla, and Zeina. I just love those names because they actually have a good meaning. Unlike my name that means a wish or desire. What the hell am I wishing for really?
I want a new nickname. I could have easily masked my blog and used a different name than my real name Mona. But like I said, it is an easy international name. Simple. Right?
I want to be named hmm.. 
*thinking*

And then of course there are the nicknames…rob robby bob bobby… UGH! i am ROBERT …get it straight people..

Oh, another thing, why is that, as soon as an international celebrity having succes, is known to have 1%, 2%, or even 50% of arab descending (origin?) man consider her an arab 100%,think Shakira, Salma Hayek.!!!
It is true they have arab influence, but common, it is annoying when they have success, they go: Suuuure, she s arab.
If she wasn t, she -shakira-would be another spanish hot bitch in theire eyes, lolllll as Christina and many others
My name is Nour, i like the meaning of the name but what bothers me is that 99.9 of the Jordanian females are called Nour, especially if born between 1977 and 1980.. I personally have 4 close friends called Nour, and I hate the fact that they have to call me by my family name to distinguish between me and the other Nours.. I like my name to be unique and it is not..
