Nicknames
Salaam
I find it hilarious when Muslims give themselves/accept nicknames which are more acceptable by the west.
Some that I’ve personally come across.
Haroon – Harry
Shahid – Shady
Muhammed - Mo
Kashif – Kash
Muniba – Mebz
Ozman – Ozzy
Bhatti – batty
Jamal - Jams
Or you get those who just pronounce names with a heavy English accent.
Umer – Oma
Anwer – Anwah
Irfan – erfan
Aaliyah – A-liya
Or when the likes of Taimoor becomes T or Zeeshan becomes Zee
Add your own

I call myself Irfan or Urfan according to who I'm talking to. To Muslims I say Irfan to non-Muslims I'm Urfan. To my friends I'm Urf.
Sometimes I introduce myself as Irfan and the other person says 'oh, Urfan'.
BTW Haroon Patel = Harry Potter
