Creating a full Arabic name
I hope someone can help with this. For a story, one family is Muslim and I want to make sure I'm not screwing up their naming traditions. But because of the father's close involvement with the US government and the family moving to the US, they need to have names that will work in America society.The names the family will go by, their first names if you will are:
Zahra (12 year old daughter)
Naveed (14 year old son)
Rawiyah (mom)
Ahmed (dad)To Americanize themselves, they use the surname Yassir. Using those names what would be their full name?I think Ahmed would be Abu Naveed Ahmed ibn Khalid Yassir (father of Naveed, son of Khalid). Or it could be Ahmed ibn Khalid ibn Ibrahim Yassir (son of Khalid, son of Ibrahim). So I'm not sure if I'm doing this right or not. And I have no idea what the children's names are supposed to be. Can someone please help me get this right? tia________________________________
