okay so i'm researching modern arabic name structure and potential names for this israeli character of mine, and since wikipedia only goes so far, i'm pulling up other articles and websites to supplement it

and i just keep finding blatantly white housewives on baby name sites (i know, i know) saying shit like "i want an arabic name for my baby, but i don't want it to sound arabic at all! are there any that sound american? i'm only asking because i don't want kids to pick on them at school" and "i wouldn't pick that name because it sounds like a terrorist name, but i'm not racist"

like

really

i know baby name sites aren't a hotbed of social advancement or anything, but saying "not to be racist BUT" doesn't automatically make what you're saying not fucked up
