wait wait why don’t you like her as katniss???
Katniss is a person of color in the books. If it were simply a “she was just the best actress!” that would have been different (but still wrong), but the casting call was only open to white girls. So no, I’ll never be okay with whitewashing, no matter how talented the actress is.

Mexican girls are beautiful wtf and you’re beautiful and that makes me so sad that he said that, Arabs often think Egyptians are the most unattractive people in the region :(
ahhh thank you omg <3 and thats really so sad, i dont know how people can place attractiveness or ugliness on one specific ethnicity??? in my very expert opinion yall are so beautiful!!!!
Those are all male names, however. Finding female names is way more difficult. I know of Tanoute and Ese (Isis, apparently). The vast majority of them, however, have Greek roots, IE Demiana, Marina, Verena, Mona, etc. There's also Mariam, but that is adopted from Arabic and/or Mariam, understandably one of few Arabic names more popular among Copts. Hope this all helped.
Everything you have provided so has greatly helped! Thanks!
That's not to say that there are not Coptic names that have been -arabized- (indicated by usage of "b" in replacement of "p"). But like I said, there are purely Coptic names that are not adaptations of historically Greek names! This does not mean they were not "Hellenized" as the Coptic is written largely with a Greek script. 1.) Abanoub/Apanoub 2.) Abanoub/Apanoub 3.) Papnoute/Babnouda 4.) Pamoun/Bamoun 5.) Shenoute/Shenouda 6.) Mina (Menas) 7.) Pishoy
This is good to know too. Thanks!
Hi! I'm Coptic. So to answer your question, the Coptic language took hold when Egypt was a part of the Roman Empire. Greeks had been living in Egypt, naturally, but when the Ptolemies were defeated, thus began Greco-Roman Egypt. Copts thus adopted many of their names as Coptic variations, but in the situation of Arabic, there are no "Coptic" variations of Arabic names. They are just Arabic (the conquests called for erasure of non-Arabic, so that was simply not possible)
I am glad you provided historical information as well. That is also beneficial!
