Sibling name ideas to go with Samira

6 replies

Mrsjellybeanheart · 02/07/2025 00:33

Hi all, I've got baby number 2 on the way and I'm thinking about names. I already have a daughter named Samira. We don't want to know the sex of the baby until they're born.

My name preferences are:

Girl:

  • Mariam
  • Shirin

Boy:

  • Raif (pronounced rayf, not ra-ef)
  • Faris

Which would you pick, or do you have any other name ideas?

I think Nabila goes nicely with Samira.

Raif is so cute!

Girl: Shirin but: Samia, Sadiya,Saida,Samiha
Boy: Raif is nice but if you wanted the same letter then Sayf or Saif, or Saeed

I think Samira goes with Mariam better than shirin.

Samira & Mariam
Samira & Mariya
Samira & Amina
Samira & Rumaisa
Samira & Ruqaya
Samira & Layla

There not necessarily my favourite names, just names I think match. Girls names I like are Nawal, Medina, Maysa, Hadeel, Dahlia, Asila, Haifa, Safa.

for boys…

Samira & Raif
Samira & Faris

i like Raif better but Faris matches Samira better.

Samira & Faris
Samira & Rayan
Samira & Adam
Samira & Karam
Samira & Omar
Samira & Yousef.

boys names I like are Rafi, Junaid, Joud, Haider, Safwan, Nasser & Tamim.

@Thuraya17 I really like Rafi as a name too and I was thinking of using it, but then I think I found that it's one of the names of Allah, so if I were to sue it as a name id have to use it as 'Abdul Rafi', if you see what I mean. I do like Raif too, but it's quite a popular name atm even among non Muslims and I don't want it to seem passe in a few years time. So I think for a boy, I've landing on Faris.
