Stuck on Aaliyah but need to pick a new Arab/English name!

Girl Names

Please suggest a girls name that will work in both arabic and English. I’ve been stuck on [name]Aaliyah[/name] for 7 months but my hubby just isn’t buying it. Now we’re almost out if time and need a name!

[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Noor[/name]
[name]Miriam[/name]
[name]Amina[/name] or [name]Aamina[/name] (I prefer [name]Amina[/name])
[name]Alia[/name]
[name]Alina[/name] (noble in Arab)
[name]Lina[/name]
Muna

I vote for [name]Leila[/name], [name]Alina[/name] and [name]Lina[/name].

[name]Zara[/name]
[name]Asha[/name] is Swahili but a variant of [name]Aisha[/name]
[name]Zakia[/name]/Zakiya
[name]Leila[/name]
[name]Dalia[/name]/[name]Dalya[/name]
[name]Rimona[/name]/Rominah - I like this one, but it will get confused for [name]Ramona[/name]. For that matter I have sometimes seen it spelt [name]Ramona[/name] in the US, and that will not make most people think Arabic so much as Spanish. Depends how low-profile you want to be.

[name]Nyla/name would be my choice for a very usable Arabic name. It means winner, which is a major bonus!

[name]Nadia[/name]
[name]Akeelah[/name]
[name]Yasmin[/name]
[name]Farrah[/name]
Hanya
[name]Suraya[/name]
[name]Mona[/name]
Hadia (with the old-fashioned nickname Haddie)
I know a Shazia, and I’ve always loved her name. She’s Pakistani… Pretty sure the name is of Arabic origin.

I’ll second [name]Leila[/name] and [name]Zara[/name]! I think [name]Lila[/name] would be great, too, and is a form of [name]Leila[/name], I believe?
