I love Zaki for a boy and Salma or Safi for a girl.

Congratulations!

Timetastic · 30/01/2020 22:01

Miriam is so pretty

AuntieRae · 30/01/2020 21:46

How about Amani or Lana for a girl? Zaynadeen for a boy?

mumwon · 30/01/2020 21:40

Asmara, Saira or Sira, Ghazala, Ruby (different spellings of this to)
Yusuf (version of Joseph) & Mikal

A muslim friend of mine has a girl called Ameenah which I think is gorgeous.

sel2223 · 30/01/2020 18:52

I love Miriam! Also, Zehra/Sera, Yasmin and Safiye

Boys names are so much harder! We are looking for Turkish names and struggling with boys....current fave is Aslan.

Busmum79 my husband too is Muslim and I'm not so we settled on Yasmin and Hanna. I have lots of students with lovely names:

Girls

Hanan
Widad
Saja

Boys

Shams which is often Sam
Ezzadine
Omar

FartnissEverbeans · 30/01/2020 18:20

I love Mai and Fai for girls.

For boys, my favourite is Firas. I also teach a lot of boys named Saif, which I think is lovely.

Blackforesthotchoc · 30/01/2020 07:38

Nilofer sounds lovely

TheSheepofWallSt · 30/01/2020 07:35

For girls Noor is lovely- like Noor Jahan
I like Ayesha, Zahra, Layla, Farrah, Mona... All easy to pronounce in English ...

For boys, I like Ibrahim, Yusuf, and Kamran

BecauseReasons · 30/01/2020 07:26

Oh and Nishita

BecauseReasons · 30/01/2020 07:25

Ah, didn't see your update sorry. As PP said, Zara/Zahra/Zarah is lovely. And Sabina is nice too, also Samirah, Samina, Saairah and Sahiba.

BecauseReasons · 30/01/2020 07:21

Aishah, Nafisa and Khadeeja I like. I also know a Mariam which I think is lovely. Aishahs are usually quite intelligent too, in my experience, as are Hanas (I know a couple of Muslim Hanas, though it's not exclusively a Muslim name). Oh, and I know an Eliza (pronounced E-lee-za). And Tasleem.

For the boys, I like Hassan, but not a fan of Hussein (and they are so often sibling pairs). I also like Abdulqadir, Aryaan and Yusuf.

FennyBridges · 30/01/2020 07:08

I love Aysha. And Aishah and less so Ayesha.

I met a Sakiba recently which I thought was pretty.

I like Hussain. Reminds me of a gorgeous baby boy I sat next to on a long haul flight! He would be about 20 now.

I like Imran too.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 30/01/2020 07:05

I'll try again, lol... You clearly have great taste in names!

Khalil
Dalia

Parttimers · 29/01/2020 19:04

Samara for a girl is lovely imo
Or
Lana
Lina
Emira
Miriam

sleepymummy2019 · 29/01/2020 19:02

I like Yusuf and Miriam. Maryam too. Zain? Adam? Zarah?

Etinox · 29/01/2020 16:39

@MummyJasminfamily names, particularly if they're the same generation are lovely imo!

Twelve8Ts · 29/01/2020 16:29

I like Samar (summer) for a girl and Sofian and Eisah for boys 😊

Pieceofpurplesky · 29/01/2020 16:12

MummyJ I am a teacher (teach English and am English) I just love the name and it sounds so pretty. It also helps that she was a delightful pupil Smile
