But these are also probably the names that I encounter most frequently.

Congratulations.
If you are in the UK I’d avoid any that are likely to be mispronounced or need correcting. The ones with brackets.
I like Samara and Sofia.
I really would avoid Fatima even though I’m aware of its significance.
I like Kaseem and Yusuf.

Yasmin
Habiba
Sofia

Musa
Farook

Sulayka - love it
Qamara - like it
Habiba - love it
Alanna - thought this was an Irish name!
Sadiya - like it
Samara - love it

Musa - love it
Farook - like it
Ibraheem - love it

Alana and Ibraheem although I’d spell it Ibrahim.

What about Noor or Noora for a girl.

What about Adam for a boy or Adnan /Aydin.. boys list is endless.

I like Nadia and Samara.
Yusuf for boys.

Names I like enough to use, in order ..

Alanna
Sofia
Jasmin

Musa
Quasim - spelt the predictable English way and like the start of Quasimodo who is another positive association.
Khalid

Saying Farook really fast could sound like a swear word.

Other ideas ..

Noor
Ayesha

Lufty
Kamahl

I know an Amna, which I love.

I think it’s a variant of Amina, which is also lovely.

Well I am an Irish Muslim hahaha 😆

Already have one child with one of your suggestions. The others are lovely.

Didn't think about the swear word association with Farook. Oh gosh

Amina is nice and Amira also.

Sofia is lovely but it is very, very common now. One of my daughter’s has about five in her year.
Khalisa and Samara are soooo beautiful sounding and not overused.

Khalisa (car lisa) - not with that pronunciation. Kh isn't a C sound.
Khalid will get mangled - Car-lead, Har-lead, Kal-id...
(non-rhotic Rs)

Habiba is too much
Musa - banana

You sound nice.

I really love Samara too.

Have you consider:
Laila
Aliyah
Aniyah
Hanah
Soraya

I love Noor. I can't stand Nadia. I've never met a nice one.

For a boy I like Z name's

Zakir
Zain
Zaid

I also like
Omar

Samara is so cute, easy name but unique and could be shortened easily.

Never met a nice one. Oh gosh. Maybe there might be some nice ones now performing umrah!!! 😄 ❤️

I love Noor - my friend's little girl's name 😊

Also love Omar and Ibraheem/Ibrahim

I'm very nice. I'd get fed up with all the Khalid variations, they annoy me without them being my child's name, and my dear friend Musa calls himself Banana.

I mean, he says 'I'm Khalid' and the people who hear him say it, repeat it as Kar-leed, Kar-lid, Har-leed, Hal-id... Why?

I dont see the similarity between Musa and Banana regardless if your friend calls himself that. I dont see the name Musa/moses and associate it with fruit.

You might be very nice indeed. But to me, Your post come across cheeky and sarcastic. Apologies if you were not, but thats how I read it.

Are you muslim?

I like all of them apart from Nadia. I don't know what it us about it!

I especially like Musa, but that might just be because I've known a few that were (and I hope still are!) all just really lovely boys 😂. When you work with children it really influences opinions on names!

My top choices for boys are Quasim/Kaseem and Khalid which hubby likes too!

My favourite for girls are Sulayka and Maimoona

Just added 3 more to the girls list now though.

Anissa
Malika
Sumayyah

@Judgejudysno1fan , the Latin or botanical name for the genus a banana belongs to is Musa. and I know the name Musa is the equivalent of Moses.

Why is it cheeky to point out that a name might get mispronounced?
