Would you name your child Yazeed?
My name is Ali, which is the most common first name in Pakistan, and I’m not a huge fan of that—not the name itself, but just how common it is. I’ve never met anyone in Pakistan named Yazeed, which makes sense given the strong dislike for Yazid ibn Mu'awiya among most Muslims.
I’m considering naming my son (if I ever succeed in making one, lol) Yazeed. My parents would probably disown me for that since they’re quite religious, but someone has to break the trend, right? Would you?
