[Facts] Re: NAME & SURNAME CHANGE
in reply to a message by Ken
I looked up both names and Nazir is a surname. However, Lael is Hebrew. Are you Jewish? If you're not it could be offensive to use the name. Nazir is Arabic. I just question using a Hebrew and Arabic name together.

Thanks for your response.
No I am not Jewish. In addition, Jewish names are used all over the world in many countries and examples are "Abraham, Jacob, Isreal, Gabriel, Michael, Eli and so many other Jewish names. So I don't consider Lael as offensive since it has a meaning to the name. Secondly, the name Nazir is actually Hebrew and it seems to also be used by the Arabs. Theirs is spelt Nasir and I believe Jewish is Nazir which was derived from Nazarines or Nazareth from the tribe of Levi for those who were consecrated. So I advice you do more findings as Nazir is part of the names of the old names. Do get back on your findings as well.

Nasari might be an option. I am not sure quite how to spell Nazari/Nasari but it is a Ukranian name. Nazaré is Portuguese. Both mean Nazareth. Nazzareno in Italian. There are crossovers between Hebrew and Arabic - both are semitic languages and written in a script which has idiosyncrasies in terms of vowels. Fidel means faith from the Spanish.You may want to chose a name that means oath, vow, commitment, promise... Saul changed his name to Paul (humble); Cephas (Petros, Peter = rock) was the name given to Simon by Jesus.
Simeon or Simon derive from shama or shema to hear, or listen to.John - God is gracious - might be an appropriate name.Gillies (gh - hard g) means servant of Jesus in Scottish Gaelic.
