Our soap title

After a lot of thoughts and ideas, we have come to a conclusion to name our soap Kareem. This is an Arabic name which will be the name of one of the main characters in our soap. The title will be presented both in English and Arabic writing with the meaning of the name in brackets underneath the title. The basic Arabic translation of the name is generous/ kind. It is also one of Allah’s 99 names. Our character is perceived as a respectful, obedient, religious young man, however he also has a mischievous, bad minded and rebellious persona as soon as he steps foot outside of his house. We liked the idea of giving him a religious, Muslim name which contrasts with his personality which changes from time to time. When he is out on the streets his friends call him by the name K as Kareem sounds too embarrassing for them and isn’t “bad” enough.

We wanted to use something different as in our target audience response we found out they didn’t what something that was too cliché so we gave the title a different style just as we did to the theme and storyline. We really hope our audience would like the idea of our title.
