I am a muslim and i wish to name my daughter as “MISHEL”
Considering the fact that its arabic/urdu/hebrew meaning is “A light” and its a muslim name as per various islamic/ muslim names website.
But my family is objecting this saying that its more popularly used in christians and i should avoid this just bcoz some popular christians have this name and just bcoz my family hasnt heard this name in muslim community.
How far is this logical and should i actually avoid naming my daughter as “Mishel” ???
