Thread: Help! I Want a Dance Last Name

I'm looking for a last name that's easy to pronounce and that's not strictly Arabic, i.e. more than one culture uses it as a last name. One that won't upstage Athallia, since for restaurants and parties one name is enough.
Any ideas?? The websites with dance names only have first names and I do not want to go by two first names.

hmmm - interesting thought! I like Athallia Amir, but then I love alliteration and the 2 syllable last name :)

I'll keep thinking and see what else sounds good :)

Athallia Abdo

Alliteration, just like the super heroes, I hadn't even thought about that. Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

You can also take a "title" - I use "The Veiled Male".

Athallia, "Queen of Da Nile" ..l;,
*runs and hides*

I'm thinking of making mine Mira Muneera....I'm also a fan of alliteration. I like Athallia Amira.

What about Athallia Ali?

Ooooh that's a pretty one!

I asked Amel Tafsout for a last name and she dubbed me Zumarrad Zeina.

I like Athallia Aal, for some reason.

Okay, I was thinking about adding Ayah to my name...but it would be pretty with yours too. Athallia Aya. Or Athallia Ayal. I like Athallia Ali too. :)

Too funny we must be all on the same wavelength. I was thinking Amar.

I was thinking Ali too, but I was afraid it'd make me more aggressive ..g.:

I like Amar, but it's pronounced different in Spanish and I plan on promoting myself more to the Hispanic community in the coming years.

Well, since we're doing alliteration, you can be Nasila Najjar or Nasila Naser.

And now....the beautiful...the fabulous.....

...Athallia Amir
...Athallia Amar
...Athallia Azza
...Athallia Anat
...Athallia Adore
...Athallia Aman
...Athallia Anar
...Athallia Aziz

...Athallia Iman
...Athallia Elise

...Athallia the fantastic!

You know, the different pronunciations don't seem like a drawback to me -- they're both very pretty and both go well with Athallia. I think it would be a really nice option for bilingual/bicultural promotion because of the warm, positive associations in both Spanish and Arabic. And people tend to remember words they know with meanings they recognize -- great for marketing!

I like the sound of Athallia Amir a lot too, but it doesn't have the "added value" of bilingual resonance.

My two cents...

athallia gamal ;)
athallia al nour
athallia sahar
athallia dallal
