Question about Arabic
Would it be strange to name your child “Saudi/سعودي" instead of “Saud/سعود"? Just like the name “Hamoudi/حمودي” is common in Lebanon. What do you think about it?

Yes it’s strange. I’m a Saudi and never heard of someone named Saudi. There are people with the name Saud but not with the name Saudi

@Internet I guessed that already haha. I just thought about the name حمودي and thought maybe you could do the same with سعود. I know it would be less common but somehow special and easier to call… What do you think about the name حمودي?
- Arabic
@fslbnfrd I think حمودي is a nickname for people named حمود or محمود or محمد we use it here in Saudi Arabia a lot as a nick name but not as a name. But I don’t know if it’s a name in Lebanon 🇱🇧
