Any ideas for pretty Muslim/Arabic/Moroccan girls name please?

[Angelina7]

Hi all,

I'm 30 weeks pregnant & my partner is Moroccan & he wants our baby girl to have a Moroccan or Muslim name, which is fine but the couple of names he has come up with I do not like, I really want to like one he chooses but it's too much of an important decision to agree to one I don't like, I have a few that I have looked up & written down to show him that I like but wonder if anyone could help me come up with some more as i am only getting them off of internet searches as i don't know many names from this origin myself. I would like something fairly unusual (in this country at least), feminine & pretty, possibly with a nice meaning & something that can't easily be shortened to something silly!

Thank you xxx

Azainah?
Jasmina
Jasmin
Kalila
Zainab? Not my favourite though, don't think it's that pretty.

Ooh I forgot Jennah, means heaven

Liyana

I adore the name Zarqa

These are children and adults I know from Tunisia/ Algeria/ Morocco. I think all the names are Arabic.

Nour

Fatima
Mariam

Aisha is my favorite name!

Maryam is also nice.

Samsiya is lovely too.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and good luck

Exh has a cousin called saffin/saphine (sa-feen) i think it's beautiful but it was vetoed as there was already one in the family. We also have
Tavan
Shelan
Aysha
Bahar
Laila in the family.
I really wanted saffine as it is an arabic name and also can be shortened to saffy as a nickname.
Means something gorgeous like mountain spring too.

Not North African but Turkish - Melis. It was the Turkish hairdresser who cut ds' hair today. Don't even know if it is Muslim? Sounds so pretty and she is lovely.

Azra

Nouriya - light
Shanni - smile

Shakira - thankful/ grateful
Raisah - leader :-)
Rahela - Arabic equivalent of Rachel
Lulu - pearl
Layla - night
Nouriya - light
Zinnia - type of flower

Deriya ( the one I know shortens it to Dee)

banana one of my dd's is called Sheelan. It's actually a Kurdish name, unless perhaps it had other origins when spelt with only one 'e'.

You maybe right mother, they actually live in kurdistan but seem to think they are strong arabic names! There is always a lot of confusion surrounding kurdish/arabic and girls/boys names

Half the people we meet laugh at my ds's name as they say it's a girls name, the other half think it's a good strong boys name!!

Nourah
Irmani
Zuleika (love this one)
Aaminah

Also Zarrine is very pretty.

My name has appeared a few times- first name suggested actually. Family shorten it to first syllable, but no one else does.

My sisters name is Zehra (pronounced Sarah with a Z). nn Zed.

I teach an Izel which may have made its way onto my list.

Serra
Selen
Leila

Sana
Mouna
Naimah

I have a lot of Moroccan students. I can suggest

Hafsa
Ibtissam
Fazia
Nora
Amel
Fawzia
Wafaa
Racha
Amina
Zakia
Samira
Yasmine
Mouna
Leila
Jihen
Fadoua
Habiba
Nouara
Chaima
Assia
Myriem

But for me there'd be no contest, it'd have to be Sheherazade. Brilliant name.
