There are some beautiful names here, it was so easy with my first. I knew her name straight away, more trickier with this one x

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.

I like Yasmin the most from your shortlist but all are lovely. How about Farrah?

kirstyd1 · 13/06/2014 19:19

I do love farrah and would have it but my stepsons name sounds very similar to it x

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

sisterofmercy · 13/06/2014 19:32

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.

IHAVEALIVERABBITINMYCRACK · 13/06/2014 19:34

Amale

kirstyd1 · 14/06/2014 07:48
