I like Shayla for a girl...its pretty and unique without being weird...I like Layth for a boys name....reminds me of Leif Garrett.
Layla and Eliyas are my favorite.



Good luck!Which of these baby names...? Please help me choose....?
I like Layla the best for a girl, very easy to pronounce in english and a beautiful name.

For the boy name, all of those names are tricky. They all look arabic, and to give your child some freedom consider picking an arabic name that is easier to people here to prononce, you don't want your child to have to fix everyone everytime someone tries to read his name. Out of the those I like Omar the best.Which of these baby names...? Please help me choose....?

I've alwayysss loved the name Meleka for a girl. I'm not sure on spelling, but it's an Arabic name meaning angel.



On the list my favorite girls name is Yamina, it sounds very pretty. On the boys list Mustafa sounds very strong, and I like it, but it sounds like a name kids could make fun of. Eliyas is cool, it sounds like a name of someone whose going to be goodlooking when he grows up. Ismael and Omar I like but both of those of very very common in my opinion.

Safiya

Shalah

Amani Safiya________________

good luck!
I love Fatima (which means "to abstain," by the way, but is also the name of the only daughter of Muhammad to carry on his line), Layla, Samara (though Samira seems more fitting) and Zayna for girls. ;) Safiya/Safiyyah is also nice, but given the similarity to top-ten Sophia, perhaps "too common," given your ending comments. ;)



For the boys, I quite like Ishmael, but isn't Ismael the Spanish form? Omar is my other favorite. Per your aversion to more common choices, however, I find Hassan and Mustafa perhaps a bit too predictable. Not that they ARE common in and of themselves, but they seem the more stereotypical sort of choices that might SEEM too common, if you follow. And since you do like Zayna for a girl, why not masculine Zayn for a boy? I quite like that as well!



Hope that helps! ;)
I love the name Layla for a girl. Very pretty.
Eliyas - arabic name for elisha i think
