I like it a lot. It's so warm and round. It's cute and handsome at the same time. It feels like the name of a guy you can count on, a steady Eddie sort. I think it's fine on any sort of person - I knew a white French-Canadian guy with this name.
Omar Emile (Emil or Emile is another "steady" name I love, and together they are not too bad!)
Omar Franklin
Omar Jabez
Omar Isaac
Omar Ambrose
Omar Michael

I like all of these names combos, but I'm not familiar with Jabez.
It's a name I discovered while doing archive work years ago, and it's always stuck with me.
Not likely to be used in South Africa: sounds just like the Afrikaans word Ouma, which means Granny.
I was just thinking of the name today. Definitely middle eastern, but it is also used on a log in Latin America. It wouldn't work on a white American, but I like the name.
I think it would work on a white American. It's a name i would consider for my son.
Well, meant non Muslim. (Please say I'm not causing more controversy)
Yes, you can absolutely name a white person Omar. While the name has Arabic and Hebrew origins, it is used across various cultures and regions globally. It has gained popularity in Europe and the Americas, as well as Africa and the Middle East. There are instances of white individuals with the name Omar, as seen in the mention of actor Omar Sharif. Some discussions suggest it may be viewed as unusual or potentially lead to assumptions about cultural background, but it's not inherently racist to choose a name you like, regardless of its origin.

I sort of disagree. Nothing wrong with Omar or Javier for a white American, though a white American named "Chang" or "Jose" may come across as weird.
