    Comment left May 19, 2008: "I'm a Fatima, and when I was younger I really didn't like my name...mainly because no one else I knew had it, but also because the only references I ever saw to it were religious. Now that I'm older, I love my name (which by the way does not mean daughter of the Prophet :P that's a person, not a meaning, and it is not derived from the Latin word for Faith.It's usually translated to mean "weaned/ one who is weaned/ to abstain/ one who abstains".) Thankfully, I never got any of the "Fat" jokes :)" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Apr 18, 2008: "Fatima is my 2 year old daughter she is very cute and intelligent.When we ask her,"what is your name?" She very beautifully says NANA as she is too young and cannot speak her name properly.But it sounds very lovely and I like the way she calls her name.I love her n her name n I would never change her name" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Jan 20, 2007: "FATIMA IS A COMMON INDIAN (THE COUNTRY) NAME AND IS PRONOUNCED FA' - TUH - MUH BUT WITH THE INSURGENCE OF BIG HEADED POST BABY BOOMERS, MANY NAMES AND WORDS ARE MISPRONOUNCED AND POST BABY BOOMERS PROUDLY BOAST THEY ARE THE INVENTERS OF THESE WORDS AND NAMES. THEIR MISPRONUNCIATIONS HAVE BECOME THE NORM AND EMBARRASINGLY THEY CORRECT THE ONES WITH PROPER PRONUNCIATION AND HAVE EVEN ENTERED OUR DICTIONARIES AS PRIMARY PRONUNCIATIONS. HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE -lived, AS IN LONG LIVED. BET YOU PRONOUNCED IT WRONG, JUST LIKE FATIMA." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Dec 19, 2006: "Actually the root of the name is Latin and its derived from the Latin for Faith "Fatim". The meaning isn't actually daughter of a prophet (i.e. before he was considered a prophet why would his daughter have that name?) It's also the name of a beautiful city in Portugal, and I know a couple of Portuguese who have relatives named Fatima (though its not the islamic version, more so the euro). Yeah the name is easy to tease but as i was always very petite it didn't bother me that much :P" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Nov 16, 2006: "Fatima's get teased with the name Fat, or Fatty, and it's not a good idea as the rates of childhood obesity increase all across the globe. Names that start with "F" suck, so stay away. Trust me, my name is Fatima and I'm a teenager in 2006." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Sep 06, 2006: "People are very familiar with this name,I use Fatim but I dont know the meaning apart from it being the name of the daughter of prophet Muhammed Sww ive met many others with same name but different spellings such as fatema fatima fathema,fatma,and fatim" (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Mar 14, 2006: "My name is Fatima, pronounced 'Fateema'.. and yes, as a child my name was commonly mispronounced, however as this name has become more commonly heard in Canada it is not that hard to pronounce." (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Mar 10, 2006: "A little girl on the Head Start Bus I aid for has the name Fatima. And she is the most wounderful child I have ever seen. When I Found out I was having a girl that was the name "Fatima"" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Feb 06, 2006: "I'm Mexican, so the name is not as popular there as in The States, which is cool because it makes it sort of exotic. In Mexico people never spell it wrong, but when I travel to English-speaking places some people have difficulty pronouncing it...instead of pronouncing the first syllable stronger (which is the correct way) they pronounce stronger the second. In Spanish it's very easy because there's an "accent" on it, but in English these symbols don't exist so it gets annoying sometimes, hehe....but apart from that I think it's a very beautiful name and I would never change it for any other. I think it has character and yet a particular sweetness..." (Report as inappropriate)

  • Comment left Dec 01, 2005: "Let me just tell you one thing, it'd be nicer if I was skinny growing up, I got made fun of a lot. :( FAT-ima" (Report as inappropriate)

    Comment left Aug 17, 2005: "Fah-te-mah, My grand-grand mother, my mother and daughter of my sister has this name in our family." (Report as inappropriate)
