Names In Fame 2016
Date 2016-12-22
Waleed Aly was born to Egyptian parents but was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia. This makes him an Australian Sunni Muslim, and he is widely recognized for his commentary on Islam.
Aly is a lawyer and was first noticed around a decade ago when he was the head of the Public Affairs division of the Islamic Council of Victoria. However, he later became a full-time presenter as he was frequently spending time doing presentations and making commentary on various issues. He was even co-hosting television programs or writing articles in newspapers for different causes.
Currently, he is the host of “The Project,” on Network 10, which is an hour-long talk show that happens nightly. In fact, he has even used his nightly editorial to help stop ISIL after the tragic attacks in Paris, outlining a few strategies that could make a real difference. Aly even condemned both former and current politicians in Australia, who he said “incited hate” with their divisive comments.
He talks about the issues that no one wants to bring into the spotlight. Even though his commentary has been viewed over 13 million times on just Facebook, Aly is not on any social media platforms. He is a traditional presenter, sticking to lecturing at the Global Terrorism Research Center at Monash University in Melbourne.
The masculine name Waleed is a variant transcription of Walid, which means “newborn”. The name is derived from the Arabic word walada that means “to give birth”.
This is definitely the most important factor. When you say the name aloud does it have a pleasing sound? Choose a name and say it repeatedly. Call it out loud and see if it appeals to you and your spouse. Also, call out the first name along with your last name.
