Please help with names for a girl. We are not sure what we’re having yet, our first was a boy and we find boys names really easy but if this one is a girl were stuck. For context, our baby is half North African (don’t want to be too specific since I’m anonymous) and half European (again, same thing).
I don’t want to call a girl any of the usual names people use in the west, we don’t live in the west currently but might settle in the west eventually so don’t want it to be completely unpalatable either.
names people usually use in the past or currently for an idea:
Yasmine
Liyana
Lina
Yara
Amira
Sarah
Alaa
Sana
Lana
Tala
Talia
Hana
Maya
Ayah
Nadine
Nadia
Mariam
etc etc very palatable
we really like Maisa but I feel that this is becoming more and more common and will end up in the above category. My husband suggested Jouri but to me it sounds like Jury.
so would you use
Maisam
Maram
Mariya (how would you pronounce this?)
Melek
Falaq
Maha
Yaqeen
Raihana
Dunia
I don’t love any of those options tbh but we’re very stuck. Please help.
