just write all three names on seperate peices of paper fold them n put them in a bag or something n ask a family member to pick one
whichever they pick is THE name

it might be a cross-cultural name. as i said, the couple in my family would never, ever, ever have named their son a hindu name, so i'm 100% sure it also is arabic/muslim.

Isn't the Hindu name prounounced Ro Hun. Where as the Arabic/Muslim pronunciation would be Ro Haan.

Of those four, Rohan is my least favourite
The rest:
1. Sulaiman
2. Abdullah
3. Rehan

^ Sulaiman is the best, I agree. I like Rehan too.
I'm not a big fan of Abdullah, but definitely like it better than Rohan.

My vote is for Rehan (I'd spell it Rayhan) or Rohaan. Sulaiman and Abdullah are great middle names but I don't see them as first names.
Wait until you meet him, Maroush, before finally deciding. He might be more "Rayhan" and less "Abdullah" or whatever, u know?

^ I love the name Sufian but my husband thinks it's weird, so it got scratched off our little prince list.

how does spelling it phonetically make it non-muslim? lol
how does your husband pronounce rehan? because my cousin's name is rehan too and its pronounced "rayhan" not "ree-haan".

i m not talking about prounciation here.
rehan is pronounced rayhan'' but correct spelling is rehan not "rayhan".
rehan, and rayhan meaning will be differnet if one name either.
