Hello, I’m pregnant with our second baby and I need help with a girls name. Our first daughter is named [name_f]Aliyah[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband is from Iran but his family is Arabic, so it’s important to him to have a name tied to his heritage. Any suggestions on Persian, Arabic, or Muslim names that also work in [name_f]English[/name_f]?
