Soooo we need girls names that are either farsi origin/Arab Origins that also sound very western. We have a Zara and we are sort of keen on Jasmine but my mum has put me off it a little!

Any suggestions?

In my mind I have

Jasmine
Sofia
?Blush

Farah is not a good one, nor are Sara or Tara which have also been suggested. Leila is lovely. And Yasmin.

Amira

NoSharon · 13/02/2020 09:29

A good friend of mine has

Nakiya
Orianna
Leveda
Winona

Nakiya is my favourite of her names.

Carouselfish · 13/02/2020 08:34

I like Sufia instead of Sophia. Zeyna (usually Zeynap). Raya (from Soraya)

Fullforcegale · 13/02/2020 07:51

If you’re willing to consider Mariam, would you consider Amira? I knew one and no one seemed to have too much trouble with her name.

CaptainCabinets · 13/02/2020 07:46

Definitely Leila.
Or Ayesha.
