[Opinions] Re: Combos for some Arabic girls names?
in reply to a message by lulu
Oh, but Noor Anastasia is so gorgeous. But I understand; even perfect combos can get old. Noor Alexandra immediately popped into my head. OK. How about:
Aida -- Gorgeous, especially if pronounced, "ah-EE-da." Where's my anvil? Aida Mirabel? Aida Christiane / Christabel? Aida Pascale?
Farah -- All I can think of is Ms. Fawcett. I know she spells this with two "r's," but she owns the name to me. Not a favorite. Farah Jasmine? Farah Persis? Farah Tanith?
Malaika -- You know, I've always wondered about this name. The pronunciation, I mean. It does *look* creative, but obviously isn't. If pronounced, "mah-lah-EE-ka," then that would go a long way to dispelling the creative look of it, if that makes sense. Anyway, you've asked for combinaitons, so how about Malaika Eve? Malaika Johari? Malaika Surya (as in Ms. Bonaly)?
Mona -- I always thought this was a Gaelic name. Perhaps both cultures came to the name independantly. How about Mona Roxelana? Mona Ruby? Mona Renata?
Nadia -- Isn't this Russian? Perhaps it's like Mona. Nadia in any language is very beautiful. Nadia Sophie? Nadia Mayim ("mah-EEM")?
Noor -- So elegant it hurts. Noor Melisande? Noor Hadassah? Noor Jamila? Noor Montserrat? Noor Mercedes? Noor Soledad? Noor Ximena ("hih-MAY-na")? Noor Inez? The Spanish-Moorish vibe is taking over in my head with Noor.
Soraya -- Oh, I'd really love this name if it wasn't for that skin condition, psoriasis (sp?). Putting that aside, how about Soraya Veronique? Soraya Nantale ("nahn-TAH-leh"), Soraya Marjani ("mar-ZHAH-nee")? Soraya Lilavati? Soraya Tamar?
Noor is by far the easiest to combine. I could have gone on and on with that list. Thanks. This was fun. Good luck!

Noor Hadassah is exquisite!
Wow, thanks Bear!
Yeah... I still like Noor Anastasia, I just loved it for too long, you know?
Aida Mirabelle would be gorgeous, and Aida Pascale is sounding so perfect to me right now. Amazingly... I think it might be the combo.
Who is Farrah Fawcett? I am off to wikipedia after this... Farah Jasmine is lovely and sounds really exotic.
I like the idea of the pronunciation Mah-lah-ee-ka, but it's way too hard for me to say.
Mona Ruby is adorable!
Nadia Sophie is one I have thought of before... I do like it, very much.
Aha! "So elegant i hurts." The perfect description of Noor :D Noor Inez is driving me nuts it's so beautiful!
If you wanted to, you could always go on with that Noor list in a PM to lulee girl, LOL :)
Thanks so much!
