Asking on behalf of a friend who doesn’t have a log in. She has a step daughter called Laila and a son named Rafi and she’s expecting a little girl.

Thank you
The name needs to be Arabic.

Malala isn’t an Arabic name. It’s Pashtun and it’s meaning is “grief stricken” which IMO isn’t a very nice!

Nimah is beautiful!

Amna
Mariama
Malala
Aaliyah

I have always loved Jenna, which apparently means "heaven"

KeiraC · 30/11/2017 06:36

Khaira, means beautiful and radiant
Kubra, means great

I’m glad two of you like nimah. I absolutely adore it and have yet to meet another.

I like classical names and I think there are Arabic equivalents for Sophia and Roxana, though I'm not sure of the spelling.

I think Arabic names are pretty but I don't know much about them unfortunately.

Of those, my favourite is Raheela (Rachel).

I agree, Nimah is completely gorgeous and I hope you don't kind of I add it to my list...

HuskyMcClusky · 29/11/2017 13:46

I have a nimah (née mah) Arabic for little blessing

That’s gorgeous!

Also love Aisha.

Aiysha means life or Aisha if you prefer

FartnissEverbeans · 28/11/2017 17:51

My favourite is Luluah. It seems to be really popular right now but is perhaps a bit too close to Laila (Laila and Rafi are gorgeous names btw).

I also like:

Zeina
Safa
Isha
