Bootaan is the most masculine Somali name, and Batuulo the most masculine Somali name for girls.
What does it mean? Sounds like Bhutan.

A few days ago I met a Somali guy named John? Is this normal? Have you ever heard of Somalis with Western first names?
wallaah i have 2 somali colleague's, one is called John and the other is mike

one of them is wadaad tho, i think they changed their names when come to the west.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: WTF?!
Lol, mine is straight up western. Nobody here would ever guess it.
More like timo jileec name :lol:
I've never seen/heard of a Somali with a straight up Western name.. Pakistanis/Indians are infamous for this.. They usually change their name to a western one to fit in I guess.. :|

I know a few Somalis with borderline western names.. I myself have one.. :mrgreen:
Rose? Maria?

I know one as well, but it's not a Western name in the case of Somalis. It comes from the Somali word sabir (meaning patience, as in sabir iyo imaan).
