She'd 'studied the area' you see, and Nadia was simply not a Pakistani name. She got all belligerent too, asking who'd named me (a passing band of white people who my parents felt impelled to honor by letting them name their firstborn child, perhaps? You never know with us exotic types.). Oh and when I pointed out that in addition to its Russian origin, which is what she had a problem with apparently (and what do you think South Asia is south OF?), it is also an Arabic and a Swahili name, she says yes but then you should spell it like the Arabic name (with a y or something). Yeah because, silly me, I've been writing it in cyrillic all this time. <BR/>Surreal./rant<BR/>So yeah, at least Sabila's nice and unusual enough to sound, well, unusual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17424537.post-15701193184860328592008-03-03T16:55:00.000-05:002008-03-03T16:55:00.000-05:00Did I ever mention the fact that my mom's khala's ...Did I ever mention the fact that my mom's khala's name is Sabila? <BR/><BR/>ps.
