Adam, Soukaina, Mohammad, Ryan, Hanane, Farah, Khadija, Safia, Ismail, Abdallah... These are all names from the Qur'an or related to the life of the Prophet Mohammad. In the mountain or Saharan regions, though, some indigenous names like Akram or Adjou are also popular.
Kids here study the same subjects as anywhere else, except they all study two or three languages as well as studying the Qur'an, starting in pre-school. Most kids I talk to like the language classes or science class.
