Arabic/American Baby Names

[nada92120]

Hi everyone, I am almost due with my third child, a baby girl. Me and my husband are Arabic but I would like a name that could work in te US also since we go back and forth a lot. I don't want a long/difficult name or one that is hard to pronounce. I like names like Maya and Layan but we already have those in our family. My top picks so far were Jenna and Lama but I feel like I don't have my heart set on either yet. My other children's names are Tala and Saif. Appreciate your suggestions.

Farah, Amina, Nura, Saffron, Salma, Zahra, Zara, Zaina. I like Jenna and Maya from your lists.

Love Sami, Rose, Miriam, Sara / Zara,

Good examples above. Yasmin, Sara?

Avoid Lama. It's too close to Llama, and Llama Llama Red Pajama books, and The Llama Song.

Whoops! Baby girl - ignore the boy suggestions

I like Maya. It was on my list. Nadia is another favourite as is Leila and Amira/Emira.

My daughter is called Amirah, I love that name.
