Love Adahm (pronounced the Arabic way). I like Hamza too. I know 2 boys called Hamza, they're delightful. You didn't ask for suggestions but Omar is lovely too.

Zaviyar is my favourite on there, but agree it could get very easily confused with Xavier.
I have a Tariq Zayne which is ages to agree on, I think Muslim boys are much harder to name than girls.

Zaviyar is pronounced like caviar.
I like it but it'll never get pronounced right

Yacoub is my favourite from your list.

I like Yakoub, Kenyan and Adam from your list.

Names I like from Asian families I know are Rayan, Arham and Armaz

Keyan^

I like Haris and Zaviyar from your list.

Azeem is my partners name, it means Defender in Arabic. Azim is another option - Great/Magnificent/Protector.

Azim is nice too but too similar to other children in my immediate family.
