It is not a requirement in Islam to have an English name that represents the religion. However, many Muslim parents choose names for their children that have positive meanings or are inspired by Islamic figures or concepts. It is ultimately up to you and your husband to decide which names you would like to give to your baby boy. It's important to discuss and find a name that both of you agree on while considering your respective cultural backgrounds and personal preferences. If you're looking for specific suggestions or meanings behind names, I can assist you with that as well. Here are a few suggestions for baby boy names that combine Chinese, Malay, and English influences: 1. Aiden (English) - Meaning "little fire" or "fiery one." 2. Amir (Malay) - Meaning "prince" or "commander." 3. Kai (Chinese) - Meaning "victory" or "triumph." 4. Ziyad (Arabic/Malay) - Meaning "increasing" or "to grow." 5. Ethan (English) - Meaning "strong," "firm," or "enduring." 6. Irfan (Malay) - Meaning "knowledgeable" or "learned." 7. Wei (Chinese) - Meaning "mighty" or "powerful." 8. Adam (English/Malay) - Meaning "son of the earth" or "man." 9. Faris (Malay) - Meaning "knight" or "warrior." 10. Chen (Chinese) - Meaning "morning," "dawn," or "great." Remember to take your time and choose a name that holds significance for both of you and resonates with your cultural backgrounds. It might also be helpful to consult with family members or seek advice from friends who have gone through a similar multicultural naming process.
