Reply To: Giving 2 Names: Hishaam Ibrahim

Wassalaamu ‘alaykum,

I personally would not give two names, in the West, I would recommend something like:

[Child’s name] [Father’s Name] [Family Name]

Plus it should be “Ibraaheem”, because in “Hishaam” the elongation is shown in the transliteration (shaa) so it should equally be shown in Ibraaheem; because otherwise it would be “Hisham”

So “Hishaam” or “Ibraaheem” in my opinion.
