thanks guys
loads hear to consider - but keep them coming in!

I am going to wade in without pre-checking what has been offered so heads up! Included are my Muslim name, my DD's and also my Grandfathers. You can leave the 't' off the feminine. Some Muslim cultures add a 'tu'. It is up to you. You can also funk up spellings if you want to make it more western. I love Muslim names and think they are the most beautiful (my dad is Muslim and my Mom is a Christian).

Kadijat
Mulikat - Queen
Malikat - Angel
Kamilla - Perfection
Shakirat

Boys

Wahid - Unequalled
Wahab - Gifter
Aleem
Monsoon
Faiq - Distinguished
Malik - King

We named our daughter Eshaal meaning Protected by Allah. i love the name although we did have a hard time picking a name as originally we were going to go for Arianna (meaning Full of Life) but the oldies thought it didn't sound 'Muslim' enough - although there is really no such thing as a muslim name, one should giI think it probably didn't sound Arabic enough!

I recently shortlisted names for my baby. Here are they

Boys:
Aariz
Aaryan
Arham

Girls:
Hibah
Mariam
Sana
Zahra
