If you had a daughter right now, what would you name her?

[name_m]Welcome[/name_m] to the forum! :slightly_smiling_face: Well, for the most part, I love how lilting and regal [name_f]Khadija[/name_f] sounds, and how sparky and punchy [name_f]Zara[/name_f] is! [name_f]Khadija[/name_f] is such a lovely shade of royal purple, and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] is so fiery orange! :blush: And [name_f]Noor[/name_f] happens to be a personal favorite of mine that I wish I could use!! I have always loved how understated yet gorgeous she is, with such an evocative meaning too! I see her as bright starlight illuminating a pitch black sky! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: [name_f]Maryam[/name_f] is lovely as well; very soft, sweet, elegant, and light pink! [name_f]Imaan[/name_f] is so refreshing and springtime-y to me, with a honeydew green hue! :yellow_heart: Another factor is the significance they hold for you, which is a beautiful thing! [name_f]Khadija[/name_f] [name_f]Noor[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Noor[/name_f] have to be my favorites from your incredible list! I hope this was a satisfactory answer! /gen :hugs: Have a fantastic day! :sunny:

Hang on why can’t you use Noor?
Your colour of Khadija is purple mine is pink so that’s very close :blush: Im glad you think Khadija is regal because as a matter of fact Khadija is like a queen in my religion, since both she and Maryam were pure women. The remaining pure women were called Asiya, Aisha & Fatima
Maryam has a lot of significance to me due to her history as a pure woman. You probably know this pure woman as Mary

I was not sure if it is appropriate of me to use [name_f]Noor[/name_f], as it is not a name from my culture, and I wanted to be sensitive regarding that! :slightly_smiling_face: But if it is acceptable to use it, I would in a heartbeat! :yellow_heart: That is so interesting, regarding [name_f]Khadija[/name_f]! Such a gorgeous moniker! :hugs: And I do indeed know [name_f]Maryam[/name_f] as [name_f]Mary[/name_f]! I love many [name_f]Marian[/name_f] names! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

It’s totally fine to use the name Noor, although if you have hesitations Nora might be the better option. In fact Layla is a name people don’t usually realise is from my religion

Thank you for clarifying that for me! :slightly_smiling_face: And I do love [name_f]Nora[/name_f], now that you mention her, as well! Thank you kindly for the suggestion! And this is true, there are some people do not realize the culture from which a name is derived, sadly! [name_f]Layla[/name_f] is so charming!! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Here’s a list of names from my religion and meanings

Aisha: Life
Bushra: Bearer Of Good News
Dua: Prayer / Love
Fatima: A woman who stays away from bad
Hadiya: Guidance
Isra: Night Journey
Jamila: Beautiful
Khadija: Respected
Layla: Night
Maryam: Beloved / Servant Of God
Noor: Light
Rahma: Merciful / Compassionate
Sidra: Lotus Tree
Tahira: Pure
Umayma: Little Mother
Yasmin: Jasmine
Zainab: Beautiful

As you can see a lot of them are rhythmic

Hey Mellona are you there?
I’m just going to make a small circle of friends on the forums, and I thought I might get to know your style of names better. Besides you are my first friend on the forums

Hello, I hope you are having a wonderful day! :slight_smile: I appreciate your naming insight and interest in my naming style, but I am currently not looking to join groups, and direct messaging can make me uncomfortable as I happen to be rather shy! Thank you for your understanding, and have a lovely day! :sunny:

That’s fine :blush:
