Hey sarah...I'm not exactly sure where she
got the name mecca...She's always wanted
to have a babygirl and name her
mecca...I'll ask though. I made up the
name michael aden the last time I was at
her house I just thought that it was a
pretty name for a little boy.

The names are really pretty...But is your
sister muslim?
If not, she might not realise that mecca
is the holiest place for muslims, it is a
city somewhere in the middle east, that is
where muslims face towards when they pray.
So the name could raise a few eyebrows
with some people! (but then, most names
probably mean strange things in some
language or other!)

I like those names.. Mecca sorta reminds
me of my name for some reason lol. Mines

think it reminds me of my name because it
is unique like mine lol.

I Am Sorry If This Sounds Too Harsh, But !!!?????????? Posted: 08-03-04 18:57pm
It
would be a pretty name, however, I don't
feel just eyebrows would be raised. I
feel that there is a strong probability
that she would receive real trouble from
radical muslim(s) (this is not saying all
muslims are radical. Sad I have to
justify that statement) later on in her
life. Kinda like if you named your
child bhudda, talmut, god, allah,
bethlehem, tora, koran,dhali lama,mayapur,
jeruselem, zion, mt. Olympus or pope.
These may seem ridiculous, but mecca is
exactly the same as all of these. Though
some listed are holy deities, texts or
names they carry the same impact for
worshippers. Mecca holy place and word,
with muslims, it's the basis, next to
allah, of their religeon! Mecca
worshipped by millions around the world.
I feel most of that faith would consider
it slanderous to carry the name. To most
of that faith I am afraid it would be
sacriligeous, thus putting her in danger
later in life by radicals.
I know this seems extreme, but you asked
for opinions, and mine is such that you
are asking for as much trouble as if you
named her god.

Not a Good Idea! Posted: 08-03-04 19:01pm
Ok I just called and asked my friendly
muslim neighbors who are physicians and
very modern and pleasant, and they said
"is this some kind of sick joke??? That's
a horrible idea, then she said something
is bosnian (yes they have muslims too) and
laughed. I now owe her cookies for
asking she said because for a minute she
thought it was me asking!"
i thought maybe a muslim's perspective
would help you. Sorry!!!!!

I think mecca would be fine. Several
names are holy places. I know several
people named zion, jordan, israel, bethel
(which is derived from bethleham) and holy
people: elijah, jesus. I went to
highschool with a boy named pope, but he
went by his middle name, michael. I think
mecca would be a fine name!

I don't think that she would have any
problem.. That name is beautiful..!
Effervescence said all that I wanted to
say.. Tell your sister it is her child
and she can name it what ever she
wants...! I would have to say that a few
more heads where turned when the actress
names her baby after a fruit.. If you
look in the baby name things on-line.. A
lot of baby name s are holy..!
Best wishes..
Ashley :d

Opinion of Names Posted: 11-24-04 00:08am
My opinion - those are stupid names. What
is wrong with women that decide to name
their poor children things that are
completely out of tune - practically
pulled out of a hat? Is it the hormones
during pregnancy or what??? Example -
"apple blythe"... Why would someone name
their kid after a fruit?

Tell your sister congratulations from me.
First of all: if you like the name, and
want to consider it, i'd have quite a few
names handy. Mecca kinda has a ring to
it. But wait till the baby's born, and if
you still like it go ahead.
Secondly, i'm sure nobody will mind about
the whole mecca: religion stuff. There's
a girl at school called priya and I never
heard of that name before, but I just
thought; its her name. And the more I
knew her, the more priya's name suited
her.
Thirdly, what does the name mecca mean?
I'm sure at some time in her life this lil
kid's going to want to know what her name
means. And if it has something like:
'muslim', what will she think of that?
Fourthly, I love this name. And if you
like it, and your sister likes it, and the
father likes it: I see no reason why it
shouldn't come into the final list.
Fifth, the name will change. It happens
to everyone. You like it, then you don't.
It's just the way it is. I had 17 names
before this one. So if mecca is chosen at
some point, it might not be the final
decision.
Finally, what does your sister think of
when she imagines mecca as a child? What
kind of personality does mecca come across
to her?
Well, big congrats from me, I hope this
helped. I can't believe how much I think
about it: i'm 13!
It
would be a pretty name, however, I don't
feel just eyebrows would be raised. I
feel that there is a strong probability
that she would receive real trouble from
radical muslim(s) (this is not saying all
