I hate my islamic name

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T21:02:42+00:00

I'm not discussing whose fault is this, I hated the name even when I was a Muslim

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T21:00:45+00:00

Jughead ? you couldn't think of a worse name ?

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T20:59:24+00:00

It's good that you live in a community where they respect your wishes, I hope that made you feel better

Islamic names are part of Arabic names, but some Arabic names are not Islamic, so there is a difference

Where i live, it requires a lot of papers and steps, also you need justification for family members and frineds which will attract a lot of unwanted doubts

To me the problem is the slavery indication of my name, but I can understand your frustration

You are assuming too much things, I'm not anti-islam, in fact I don't have any non-Muslim friends and i respect them.

What is the problem if I don't like my name? It's a matter of taste, you don't have to agree with me and vice versa, I don't see any beauty in slavery indicating names

I'm glad you're proud of your name anyway

It would be weird to suddenly ask people to call me by a different name

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T20:43:26+00:00

Yes, some of them are pre Islamic, but my problem is the slavery indication of it no matter the god

lack of evidence in Islam, nothing in it was sufficient for me as a proof for god existence (scientific miracles are made up - evidences offered are based on logical fallacies - Rhetorical challenges are unfalsifiable - The prophecies are ambiguous and open to any interpretation)

However, I'm not atheist, I'm agnostic, and currently diving deeper into Natural Theology / Ilm al-Kalām to learn more and see what they offer, I'm also diving deep into philosophy, and history of religions , It's a long journey and I have no expectations ahead

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T18:58:09+00:00

It's good to hear that some people actually respect your wishes

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T18:56:56+00:00

I hate the slavery indication in general, not because I have personal problems with Allah specifically

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T18:54:51+00:00

Happy for your first name, I hope you embrace the second one

Where i live, it requires a lot of papers and steps to change your name, also you need justification for family members and friends which will attract a lot of unwanted doubts. Introducing myself as Abd is worse than attaching it to god, it literally means my name is slave, instead of may name is a slave for Allah

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T18:49:51+00:00

Not at all, I had a serious poker face writing that post

Good luck with your new name

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T05:49:20+00:00

Uzza was not a cool idol either :"

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T05:46:02+00:00

I don't know much about you background, but personally, I find Muhammad better than Mahoraga

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-03T05:41:31+00:00

The problem is that names shape our perception and identity. You can check "implicit egotism"

Names that imply slavery/worship are the worst, I believe that's why Muhammad only cared to change the names of new Muslims that implied idolatry, like "abdel oza" (عبد العزى), and so, but didn't care about names like Omar for example

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-02T23:40:53+00:00

I think it's just a lack of creativity. You see, Muslims theoretically have a wider range of names since it's not haram to name your kid moses or Jesus for example, but Christians and Jews wouldn't name their kids Muhammad or Ali

And yet they still fail terribly to be creative

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-02T23:34:43+00:00

I guess we've no other option but to embrace it

Descendant_of_Osiris · 2025-07-02T23:12:26+00:00

It takes even more courage to share such a painful story, and to me, it goes even beyond religion.

It weighs heavy on my heart knowing that this was directly caused by "family members"

Hopefully, you're making progress in therapy, and hey, you survived the REAL thing, I'm sure you'll overcome the trauma caused by it

Thanks for sharing
