French and Arab names

Morning everyone. Happy Easter to those who celebrate. We are struggling to find a name for a boy and a girl with French heritage on the one side and Arab on the other. Can you think of any that would work with both families please? It doesn’t have to be Muslim although the child will be if that helps.

Names that I think could work for both:

Zahra/Zara
Nadia
Leila
Amal

Sami
Adam
Ibrahim

I think there are also names that are Arabic or French, but are so well known that they’d work pretty much anywhere and everyone will be familiar with them e.g. Mohammed or Fatima, Charlotte or Louis, You could pair up and use these type of names as a first and middle name, e.g. Fatima Charlotte, so the name reflects both heritages.

Adam and Zakariah (Zak) are Arabic names that are also popular in France?

Lina is a lovely name in both the French and Arabic charts?
