our bus driver don't know our names ! yeah he don't . he knows only our fathers names like some girl her name is Mona and her father name is Ahmad , our bus driver call her Ahmad's house or just Ahmad !
isn't our names are our identity ??
did my family gave me a name so you can call me with my fathers ? i'm not my father and you know i have my own name you should use it to call me with it instead of my father's name .
well that for Saudis women name is a shame . Saudi guys try their whole lives to hide their mothers,sisters and wife names , they consider it like their honor so they try their best to hide it and if some guy find out the names they actually beat him .
this isn't Islamic , its actually backward mind or like i call it closed minds . Islam didn't change Arab minds nor technology didn't so nothing would ever change them . prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him ) said his mother,wives,sister and daughter . so why don't you Saudis follow him ?? why ?? aren't you Muslims ? Muslims follow their prophet am i right ? so why do you hide women names
or is it just you follow what you like and you change verses meanings so you can make women a follower and men leaders ? Islam made men and women the same no difference , just equal each other !
i said before i won't talk about religion so i will stop but i had to say what i've said .in Saudi society women's face and names are a huge shame .
when a girl go out with her husband or brother or even her dad , he is nice and sweet but when he sees his friend he tell her to hide because it is a shame that his friends sees him with a women !
of course not all Saudis are the same but most of them think and act like that
I always thought that hiding a girls name to a guy was thought of as protective or keeping a girl's respect so much that others don't know her name (I know, doesn't make sense or have any use), and that guys would feel ashamed if other guys knew the girls' names just because this means they failed to protect whatever they are trying to protect.

People now realize the difference between tradition and right and wrong, and so, many things are changing for the better not the worse. That is my opinion... But it is always more difficult for a lot of things to change than others, and in some small communities than bigger ones...
Also, the changing Saudi community should always keep in mind that change should be directed to defining its correct limits, not just trying to be "open" on the account of religion or tradition haphazardly. It is not an easy task!
Name is name,part of identity..to hide it its not anything like keep respect its stupid. if smbody call u only with name of ur dad its like u r just some property. she should be alled with her name ,its normal. then for what she has name?
