Arabic names are beautiful, there's no denying that. When people ask what your name means or where it originates from, you are often proud to share yours with them. But, there are times when your name gets the best of you and you just wish you had a name that made greetings easier and filling an application faster. Here are 15 struggles every person with an Arabic name will understand:

1.The question "What's your name" results in an anxiety attack every time
