Please share girl names that have a good meaning and can be pronounced easily living in the west.
Re: Girl Names
ayla- deer or giselle
aaminah- safe, secured
aleena- silk of heaven (my personal favorite)
raima- happiness
zoha- light
nur-light
Alternatives for "noor" can also include "nooriya" and "noora"......all of which mean light
Zara spelled as** Xara **is cool in my opinion and makes the common name seem more unique.
Leena--tender, soft
Liyana-- softness, tenderness
Alaia---virtuous
Alayna----Princess (Iranian) Upon (Arabic)
Ayana---Beautiful flower......can also be derived from the male name, Ayaan, meaning "gift"
Mishel---light
Names that I like
Rania / Raina = both means queen
Rabail = Flower
Sehar = morning
amara
origin: greek, means unfading/eternal
origin: african, means paradise

Re: Girl Names
Minahil
Kehmish
Laiba

** Minahil Sadaf **
IL, my little niece is a Minahil. I had never heard it before, even though I'm an Arabic speaker---I haven't heard it used in the parts of the Middle East I've been but it seems to be getting more popular in Pak.
My husband's cousin is a Sadaf. I like the meaning---seashell. Cute!
My husband loves the name Pakeeza for a girl; I can't stand it.
My favorite girl names are:
Noor
Muna
Sonia
Samar
Zoya
i love noor too! but there are already 100 in our khandaan.
Isn’t Isa, the boy’s name pronounced ee-sa? My daughter has the same spelling but it is pronouced ay-sa, eye-sa or i-sa.
Noor-ul-ain is a really nice name but you could also have Qurat-ul-ann, Qurat-ul-ain or Qurat-ul-Ayn meaning cooling, delight of the eye, joy, pleasure, darling. My sister’s name is Qurat-ul-ann and everyone calls her, Annie, which is cute and a common nickname to have with that name! Or some people choose to have the nickname Anna!
More girls names:
- Sahla (Sahlah) meaning smooth, simple, fluent, facile, easy, even.
- Samira meaning companion (in nightly conversation), entertainer (with beautiful stories, music etc.)
- Nawra (Nawrah) menaing blossom, flower.
- Ziyan or Ziyaan meaning ornament, decoration.
- Zayan or Zayaan meaning beautiful, graceful, pretty.
- Zarina or Zareenna meaning golden.
