There are different versions of Greek names, "basic" is one of those.
The nicknames in Greek are derived from their tradition, there are names which are also produced from jokes and few reflect a cute look. Saint or martyr of the church is given tribute by dedicating each day of the year in their memory. Thus the Greek baby name carries the Saint's name. It has been observed that Greek girl names very much relates to patron saints, though the ancient Greek names have become very popular in last few years. Greeks being traditional they have complete freedom of choosing their Greek girl names. Today with the ongoing trend people of Greece have started using compound names for their baby girl which is a mix of both Orthodox and an ancient Greek names.

Good Muslim Names by James Gunaseelan
Like Shaadi or marriage, giving a child a good Muslim name is considered to be just as important. Arabic names construct the basis of several Muslim names. A number of these names have relevance taken from the Islamic understanding of the God of Abraham. Given and family names drawn from the 99 names of God employed in Islam are quite widespread among Muslims from several nationalities.
There is a logical structure to Arab naming, usually employed in the Middle East, which makes it possible to comprehend an individual's recent ancestry. A whole name shows a person's given name, his father's name and his grandfather's name, in addition to the family name. Muhammad is one of the most popular Muslim names. There may also be variations in a Muslim name. For instance, variations for Muhammad include Mahmoud and Ahmed.
So you have experienced a wonderful Shaadi or lavish marriage, now is the time to think of a good Muslim name for your baby. When thinking of a name, there are many themes you can go with. For instance, if you want a strong name, you can choose Jabbar (fboy), which means mighty king, or Amira (girl), which means ruler. If you want something that stands for beauty, you can go for Nadhiyah (girl) or Husain (boy). For a name that stands for wisdom and intelligence, you may choose Rashida (girl), which means intelligence, or Rashad (boy), which means wisdom. Or how about choosing a theme that has to do with love? For girls, Rafiqa stands for sweetheart and for boys, Habib stands for beloved. There are many more names that have popular symbols attached to them, describing one as good-natured, kind, happy, honest, generous or noble.
Giving A Muslim Baby A Non-Arabic Name
As with Shaadi and other eventful occasions, naming a Muslim child is often carefully thought-out and made to have Islamic relevance. In Islam, Muslims are able to give their baby a non-Arabic name if they wanted. However, Islam does have a guideline for parents on choosing the appropriate Muslim names for their children. It is generally pointed out that a Muslim baby be given a good name. This could mean naming a child with the main purpose of reflecting one's Islamic identity.
Names For Sunni Muslims
One of the things that may be used to tell Sunni Muslims from Shiite Muslims is the name. However, this is only a general difference and Muslims around the world utilize some common names to give their babies, like Mohammad or Ahmad. Some names may have a sectarian indication and, if employed, establish almost certainly whether an individual is a Sunni or a Shiite. Such indication among Sunni Muslims include names like Omar and Othman. For Muslim women, name differences between Sunnis and Shiites are not as strong.
Using Muslim name online directories as well as some marriage websites may be able to help you find a name that you'll feel is right for your baby. Gather a handful of names you fancy and try to say each one out loud just to test if you really do like it. If you are having trouble deciding, you can simply give your baby a name taken from the previous generation of your family.

Are You Having Trouble Deciding on a Name? by Irvin Mcclain
Naming a baby is easy. All you have to do is think of a name that would suit him or her and viola, the child will carry it all throughout its life. Some pressure.
Relax though, naming a baby should not be difficult. Just make sure that whatever name you come up with will suit the baby up until the baby becomes a full-fledged adult.
The following are helpful tips to make baby naming a fun, enjoyable work.
Know what you want and do not want
Early on, it is best that you decide what kinds and types of name do you want to call your baby. Do you imagine yourself shouting "Ralph!," "Amanda," "Edward, or "Raul?"
What you call your baby now is what he or she will be called for life. So decide where and how you want to go about choosing names. Do you prefer a more traditional route or would you want to choose from a list of unusual baby names?
Ask family and friends
To probably give you an idea on the names you might want to call your child, ask around or interview relatives and get to know your family tree as well as your partner's. If there are those people whose lives have touched you or those who have played a significant if not meaningful part in your lives, you may consider their names. Make sure though that both you and your partner agree to such a condition and that it is a name both of you will like.
Make a list and check it twice
Another option you could do is making a list of your personal favorite artists, actors, actress, places, characters from novels, movies or plays or from history or art, mythology, etc.
It would be best if such names or places have a significant meaning to you and your partner. If you and your partner considered the capital of France as the place where you definitely fell in love, proposed, (or where the baby was made), name the child Paris (at your own risk of course).
Know your lineage
In struggling to come up with a beautiful baby name, take this opportunity to also know your family's heritage as well as your partner's.
Would you want to have a specific ethnic sounding name for your baby? It may also be a chance for you to acknowledge or recognize your own or your partner's nationality.
Buy a baby name book
This cuts out the effort, sweat, toil and tears of having to come up with a unique name or in looking for one. Through a baby name book, all you have to do is open its pages, close your eyes and let your finger do all the walking.
Wherever your eyes or your finger rests on may be the name that you might be looking for all yourlife. Be careful though and always feel free to change your mind just in case your finger rests on a Bartholomew or a Willamina.
The best way to go about this process is by highlighting the names you or your partner prefers. Then start from there.
Look at the big picture
Now that you may have a probable list of names, try to check how they stack up against the last name of the baby. First and last names that rhyme really do not sound too good. Long names are really not preferred, imagine how your child will write his or her name or introduce him or her self during their first day of school. Also, try to avoid any names, the nickname of which may be unflattering.
All in all, naming a baby is supposed to be a fun thing to do. Enjoy it, until the child grows up and become old enough to legally change it on its own.
