Which name sounds better to you?
Okay so I have "two names", my real name is Salamatu.. which has also been shortened to Salama on a lot of my doents and can also be Salma , they all mean "peaceful" but Salamatu is in my mother's native language and Salma is Arabic. However on a lot of my doents I also have the name "Hajia" in place, which is also in my Mother's native language. EVERYBODY calls me Hajia. It's a bit confusing for me too lol but I think when my mother enrolled me into school in kindergarten they had Salama as my mother put Hajia as my 'preferred name'. The "J" in Hajia is pronounced like the J in "Je" in French (example: Je veux, je peux ect.), I guess I'm not very articulate when I try to tell people my name but I'm tired of people not being able to remember it or just having to repeat myself 20 times everytime I meet someone new lol. I'm an aspiring young actress and I'm building up on my experience, so my question is what name sounds better, Hajia or Salma? If you were to see me on TV which name do you visualize would appeal to you more??
