my first options for a girl - need english and arabic names

[ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight]

I want to give an english first name and arabic middle name, as it may well get called the arabic name by moroccan relatives but as the surname is moroccan I want an english first name...anyway

Clara Jasmine
Clara Yasmina
Ada Naima
Ada Karima

What do you think?

other nie names in my family... latifa, nafisa, hajar, leila, nadia, soumia, jamila, rakaia..

For the Arabic, I love: Sara, Maria, Dahlia, Samara, Lana, Ala (pronounced Arla) Cala, Zahra, Tahra, Malikah, Nadia (although my DH says thats 'old fashioned' now!) I like these as they are mostly cross-over names.

Clara Naima? Both lovely names.

I love Leila.

sarah, fatma, aysha

Leila and Soraya are both beautiful.

Skip the English name imo, just have the one name -- she'll be unique and proud.

She'll be unique and proud anyway, and this is none of my business, sorry.

Jasmine and Yasmina both lovely and i love the name Lale (Turkish though!)

Yasmina my best friend
Naima my mum

Love them both. Naima is a bit old fashioned in Morocco nowadays. Yasmina quite common (not to put you off!)

I'm currently having same dilemna. I think we're going to go with Aida. DS wants Lamia. DH keeps quiet as he chose DS's name.

I love Soraya too.

Clara Soraya sounds good.

How about lydia

Hi,

you can check out:

www.arabicenglishbabynames.com

It lists all the names that work in both english and arabic.
Good luck!

Middle names are fine but I don't like Clara or Ada at all.

Clara Yasmina sounds lovely :)

ZOMBIE THREAD! This child is 10 years old!!! She's hopefully already got a name by now!!!
