Arabic names
I really like Arabic names, however I don't know that many. I know Layla, Ali, Aisha.
1: Any suggestions
2: Is there a name in particular that is a favourite or a couple of favourites.

I really like Arabic names too!! My favorite names for girls are Rasmiyah, Aminah (like Ah-mih-nuh), Ameenah, Amal, Jannah, Amani, Fatima, Jinan, Muna, Rajiya, Jenin, Ranya, Tasnim (though, i prefer Tasneem), Yasmeen, Zohra.For boys, I like Adnan, Jibril, Ibrahim, Jalal, Jinan, Kadir, Mustafa, Omar, Rafiq, Sa'eed, Tahir, Yakub, Zain. There's a thousand different spellings for each of these, since Arabic isn't in the same script as English (i.e. Rasmiyah, Rasmia, Rasmiya; Said, Sa'id, Saeed, Sa'eed; and so on), so if you don't like a spelling, you can change it as long as it doesn't alter the pronunciation and it won't be out of place (like if you were to spell Courtney Kortnee).

Thank you for those names especially the boys. I like Fikri and Raza. Those female names are nice to especially Raisa and Azra.

Amira and Zahra are pretty, and I like the meanings of Farah and Aqil. Ghayth is interesting. Generally, I prefer Persian, Hebrew, and Egyptian names over Arabic amongst Near Eastern names. Aisha always reminds me of the six year old that Muhammad married.

Zahra is really pretty. Aisha is a name I like because I know someone called Aisha and because though she married Muhammad young, she went on to become an important figure in Islamic history, which is another reason I like it.

1:Some suggestions...
GIRLS - Dania, Hania, Zaida, Thamina, Basma, Yasmin, Muna, Nadra, Sabine, Selma, Ruba, etc. BOYS - Nadim, Malik, Shariah, Yusuf, Hamza, Faris, Jiman, Munir, Samir, Tariq, Rauf, Zain, Zaid, etc. 2: My favorite name is Farah, it means "joy". We almost named our first child this. I prefer this original spelling as well. Maram and Nima are also some favorites. All three of those names are unisex, though I happen to prefer all three on girls.

I like Maram and Nima a lot as well as Malik and Zain for boys. I like the meaning of Farah but I don't think I would use it.
