We all know someone who's more commonly known by a nickname than their actual name. I'm not talking about the Hamoudis and Hamadas we've all encountered. It's more about those western nicknames Arab males give themselves. Because it's cooler?

Here are 6 Western nicknames you've probably come across when speaking to an Arab male:

1. Mohammad as Moe

so-moe-o

2. Ibrahim as Bob
