Khalti Um NouF, 3ami Bu 7amad !!

Yesterday while walking with my dad, we saw one of his friends sitting on the bench so my dad thought we should go and say hello. I asked my dad what was his friend's corresponding name since it is the appropriate way to talk to a man in Kuwait. he told me that his friend has 5 daughters and no sons so they call him "Bu 7amad" after his father's name !. I asked my dad if he knows his friend's eldest daughter name? and he said its "Nouf"(she's 24. an engineer. Was an A student back in college. Work for one of the best firms in Kuwait. she's working on her masters too. " but you can call his wife (khalti um Nouf) " dad continues to explain. we reached Uncle "Bu 7amad" and my dad introduced us

i'm the oldest and my bro is only 12 now. Both my parents go by bo and um ***** (my name). very rarely does someone use my brother's name. i correct ppl that do choose to use my brother's name. awal my name is nicer ;-) thani i'm older and thalethan its more unique and ppl recognize my parents easier. shino feeha if ppl know your wife or daughter's names? maa we all know the rasool's wifes and daughters name ma feeha sheee. its retarded to deliberately want to hide things like that.

I just thought you took advantage of something and flipped things around, hence, evil :)

what was his reaction? people before used to be proud of their sisters like king Abdulaziz used to be called okhou Noora and the al-Sabah (correct me if im wrong ) okhwan Maryam .... dont know why some people are ashamed to be called bo (his daughter name ) :(

wallah the man didnt mind , the problem is in people themselves .. he doesnt mind being called bu nouf but people think its more polite to call him "bu 7amad" !! the problem is within the cultural perception of our people !!!

so true, it goes unnoticed a lot of times though. you know what's bad too? when men refer to their sisters, wives as Il Ahal. ya3ni gool Ikhtee Zojtee, Shfeeha?
my uncle has no sons and everyone calls him bu-7anan, oo 3adi ..
what i prefer? is that we're called by our own names.

hazolat :
yes ofcourse we should be called by our own names bs sometimes you need to use such corresponding names to show your respect to elder people ... maybe i should start saying "3mi" and "khalti" without referring to names

ذكرتيني بواحد يصيرلي
ياتله بنت و سماها روان, مشت عليه بو روان بو روان
بعد كم سنة ياله ولد سماه علي
قاموا ينادونه بو علي
الأقرع اعترض عليه و قاله صج انك جليل أصل
ألحين روانوه أربع سنين تتعب و على قولتج 24 ساعة معاك و دمها خفيف و مطيعة و عاجلة و رافعة راسك
بيوم و ليله يالك هالولد نساك البنت و قمت تقول انا بو علي
أنا و الأقرع لا زلنا اناديه بو روان
و بما اني قريبا بصير بو بنت , هم عادي ينادوني بو فلانه
ليلحين ما استقرينا على اسم جان عندك اقتراح
