[Opinions] Limian and Zaianab
My local paper has an article in it about the people in our town who host international students (something that's been popular here for a long time-- we've got a big international community for a relatively small town, because it's something our town advertises for and the preschool I went to was an international one). Two names in the article caught my eye:Limian (f), a student from Brunei
Zaianab (f), a student from ThailandI've never heard or seen these names before and I kinda like them! I can't find anything about Limian though google tells me there are others with the name in Southeast Asia. Ditto for Zaianab.

Zainab, which I assume is a variant, I always find fascinating. I don't know what it is about that name, but it draws me in every time. I think it's the "-nab" on the end that tickles me. Anyway, great name. :0)

Zaianab is just a variation of Zainab. My favorite form of it is Zeynep.

And thanks to this post I’ve just discovered that Mike added popularity for Turkey and Zeynep is number 1. Yay Mike!
