Middle name combinations

I often like to imagine what 2 middle names I would give to my daughters. In Arabic, it is a tradition to give your child, boy or girl, the father's name as a middle name, but I feel that I wan't to give them Arabic female names.

I wan't Aminah (ah-meen-ah) to be the first one, but I have trouble choosing the second one. I narrowed it down to:

Aminah Fatima
Aminah Yasmin
Aminah Aaliyah

I like Aminah Fatimah because they are both classical, but I also can't ignore Yasmin and Aaliyah even though they are more youthful . Which one do you feel is best and why?

I'd rather be Aminah Fatima, I think. It's just more substantial.
Yes the names have similar rhythm, but I don't think that's very important.
Second choice, and more aesthetically appealing to me, would be Aminah Yasmin.

To me Aminah Fatima rhymes, and I don't like it. Even if it doesn't rhyme they are too close in look and sound for my liking. There's no realy flow in the combo. My favorite is Aminah Yasmin. Very pretty. I'm not a fan of Aaliyah. It's too complicated for me and I don't like the way Aminah Aaliyah sounds.

I too am caught. I like all 3, I guess I could rule out Aaliyah because double A's don't look right to me. Yasmin and Aminah also seem to clash stylistically. I guess I'd say Aminah Fatimah
