Arabic names for white child

[Violetrose7]

Me and my partner are both white British, the baby girl names we love the most include Amira, Amaya and Safiya, all of which are of Arabic origin. I also love Zara but he isn’t keen.

has anyone got any other suggestions similar to these names and also does anyone think it would be an issue using an Arabic name when we have no connection to the culture? We just love the names!

I know quite a few Amayas that are Asian but not Muslim (mostly Hindu, one Sikh) and same for a lot of the names you've mentioned.

It's fine and I don't think it's cultural appropriation, but regardless with some of the more Arabic sounding names you will probably still get some natural curiosity about it or people wondering if you're converts to Islam etc. I think you'll just about get away with Amaya though.

That’s a gorgeous name op 💛
