Well it has a slim chance but good for you trying in all possibilities, even on VJ. The internet has brought us to even a smaller world.

I wish you luck on your search.

My understanding is that you're asking about whether the name should be "Kalik" or "Khalil". Kalik is a very uncommon Arabic name while Khalil is very common.

Khalil is famous here in the US through the poet/write Gibran Khalil Gibran, who himself came from Mount Lebanon around 1895.

I hope this will help.
