Hmm, I wouldn't really know. Pe...@Al-ain Rose:<br /><br />Hmm, I wouldn't really know. Perhaps his name is pronounced like Zeeb, rather than Zib, which is like a shami pronunciation of ****? Another thing is that if the guy has such an embarrassing name, then why not just use his family name, if Zeb is his father's name, or vice versa?<br /><br />I still don't know how this disqualifies him from doing good deeds in our countries. I'm sorry but your mom isn't the whole public. My dad heard about this, and he was disappointed, not because of the name, but because of how this person was treated based on nothing but his name.<br /><br />If the public is so keen on nefarious terms, they might as well blurt out half of the Japanese names or google "Dick" Cheney; that would have a higher success rate for the public's gratification on others "misfortune".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-76035664160838173022010-02-08T01:42:10.777+04:002010-02-08T01:42:10.777+04:00how come everyone keeps on calling it an "unf...how come everyone keeps on calling it an "unfortunate name"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-40081276835085637822010-02-08T01:38:08.573+04:002010-02-08T01:38:08.573+04:00we really shouldn't take other people's na...we really shouldn't take other people's names according to our language only; it's counterproductive as far as qualification and commonsense are concerned. <br />....<br />Yea I agree, but this one is really really different.Could you say his name in front of, lets say, your father? No. I was telling my mother about the story and she kind of didn't like it she thought I was telling an off-color joke, I tolde her it was not a joke, it was a true story.Then she burst out laughing. <br />How do you find it easy not to be sensitve about his name when his name literally translates to a dirty thing in Arabic, even much for porn stuff, I'm sorry but imagine when his name is mentioned in an arabic channel.Eww.<br /><br />So will Pakistan reject any Saudi Ambassador called Bandar (which means monkey in Urdu)<br />.........<br /><br />But monkey's not as rude as biggest ****. No comparison. Yes it's not his guilt that he has an unfortunate name in Arabic, on the other hand, no one can blame the Arab countries for rejecting him.<br />Thank Allah I have a common name that could be found anywhere.Al-ain Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991730374550313098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-74427241471291518662010-02-07T09:46:25.718+04:002010-02-07T09:46:25.718+04:00@Al-ain Rose:
I don't really know about you, ...@Al-ain Rose:<br /><br />I don't really know about you, but it seems kind of undesirable to be rejected for having a culturally "extraneous" name. <br />I met a Dutch once in an Amsterdam who took it as an offense when I said "lul" instead of "lol" (yes, I speak interwebz) only because "lul" meant male genitalia in the Dutch language.<br />Overall, we really shouldn't take other people's names according to our language only; it's counterproductive as far as qualification and commonsense are concerned. <br />I hope my comment was discrete enough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-6167596863613677272010-02-07T08:08:50.158+04:002010-02-07T08:08:50.158+04:00So will Pakistan reject any Saudi Ambassador calle...So will Pakistan reject any Saudi Ambassador called Bandar (which means monkey in Urdu)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-20796228291137580432010-02-06T22:20:48.589+04:002010-02-06T22:20:48.589+04:00Zahar, but the Arab countries have every right to ...Zahar, but the Arab countries have every right to reject him.<br />The Arab news reporters will have hard time mentioning his name, how could they say that, for example,in his palace Shaikh Mohammed has received Akbar "beauty"?Al-ain Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991730374550313098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-20207870449352927872010-02-06T15:24:50.204+04:002010-02-06T15:24:50.204+04:00The Arabs should understand that the language Urdu...The Arabs should understand that the language Urdu is a mixture of many international and local languages including Arabic and Persian.<br /><br />The word Zeb ( زیب ) being used in Urdu language is basically from Persian and it means "Beauty" literally the meaning of Akbar Zeb in Pakistani or Urdu language context is bigger beauty.Zafarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-16425619346594738792010-02-06T03:25:42.828+04:002010-02-06T03:25:42.828+04:00LOOOOOOOOOL OMG!!LOOOOOOOOOL OMG!!Al-ain Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991730374550313098noreply@blogger.com
