ooh a lot of the names on your list are names i love too! i particularly love Aliya, Amani, and Amara.
what i also love for girls is Eliana which is Hebrew and means “God has answered”.
i’d be careful with Arianna though- its Greek meaning is “Very holy one” which i’m wondering, could it mean the equivalent of a prophet in Islam? or could it just be anyone who’s very holy? some clarification? anyone?
i also really love Leilani (i like names ending in i). it means- The girl’s name Leilani *le(i)-la-**ni* is pronounced lay-LAH-nee. It is of Hawaiian origin, and its meaning is “heavenly lei; royal child of heaven”. A “lei” is the familiar Hawaiian necklace of flowers, shells or feathers. It symbolizes regard and love for the person to whom it is given.

for boys, i like the classics hussain and hassan.

Love the name Eliana, never heard of it before but I’m intrigued. How’s it pronounced? Origins etc?
