For Adroit: It can also be Maher of Hazek - *Note: For Hazek the H letter is not original cause its Arabic pronunciation letter does not have equivalent in English.* For Bravura: It can be Shugaa Garea' :D which is much harder to pronounce for non-Arabic speaking people :D So I would prefer to use Maher cause it more close to the meaning and easy to pronounce :D. > The online dictionaries I found don't translate to the same alphabet. > > > On Sun, 2011-09-04 at 22:26 +0300, Mohammad Nour El-Din wrote: >> The Arabic name sounds easier to pronounce :P >> >> On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 9:22 PM, Julien Vermillard <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > flink sound nice but : http://sourceforge.net/projects/flink/ >> > >> > maher is nice too >> > >> > in french it's habile >> > my 2 cents :) >> > Julien >> > >> > >> > On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 8:37 PM, Mohammad Nour El-Din >> > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> What about >> >> >> >> Maher >> >> >> >> Which is skillfull in Arabic :D ? >> >> >> >> wdyt ? >> >> >> >> On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 7:50 PM, Roger Schildmeijer >> >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I first considered "Flink", the Swedish translation of Deft.
