Help[Opinions] Re: French BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Many of them are nice, but it's a shame that many of them aren't actually French. Where do Maloée and Tasmin come from?
Lots of Arabic names for the boys (makes sense due to the sizable population of North African immigrants in France), but I like Arabic names.

Guess so, although Tasnim is a girls' name in Arabic. Maybe Tasmin is Berber?
For those who don't know, Berbers are the original inhabitants of Northwest Africa. They speak their own languages separate from Arabic (although they use that as a second language), and look very different from most Arabs, with some even looking very European. A number of the North Africans in France are actually Berbers. Some Berbers still use names from Berber languages, such as Kahina for girls.
