Hey two weeks to go now, hubby and i have finally agreed on Sarina nabiha ( middle name his sister who recently passed).
although there is still time to work on him some more for annisa, maybe i should show him this thread x

Anisa means good companion and I think there is overwhelming consensus on this this thread that your dd should be called Anisa.

I love Farah, Samia/Samira, Esteha, Noora and Hester (although I think this might be Persian)

I have a friend called Annissa, lovely name Smile

DogCalledRudis · 18/06/2014 09:13

Aisha or Feruza

How about Nimah (nee mah) means little blessing in Arabic

We had our dd in the Middle East so we decided on it as her middle name.

Amale

I was once looking for a name which meant 'friendly' to apply to a lovely friendly little stray cat I was rescuing and I chose Ermina. I think it is a very pretty name.

MrsEdinburgh · 13/06/2014 19:24

Love your short list but have you considered Amel? It means hope in Arabic.

I think it may be Farsi not Arabic but I read the novel 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' and one of the women names her daughter Aziza. I love that name.
