I really like Arabic names, however I don't know that many. I know Layla, Ali, Aisha.
1: Any suggestions
2: Is there a name in particular that is a favourite or a couple of favourites.

I really like Arabic names too!!
My favorite names for girls are Rasmiyah, Aminah (like Ah-mih-nuh), Ameenah, Amal, Jannah, Amani, Fatima, Jinan, Muna, Rajiya, Jenin, Ranya, Tasnim (though, i prefer Tasneem), Yasmeen, Zohra.
For boys, I like Adnan, Jibril, Ibrahim, Jalal, Jinan, Kadir, Mustafa, Omar, Rafiq, Sa'eed, Tahir, Yakub, Zain.
There's a thousand different spellings for each of these, since Arabic isn't in the same script as English (i.e. Rasmiyah, Rasmia, Rasmiya; Said, Sa'id, Saeed, Sa'eed; and so on), so if you don't like a spelling, you can change it as long as it doesn't alter the pronunciation and it won't be out of place (like if you were to spell Courtney Kortnee).

1:Some suggestions...
GIRLS - Dania, Hania, Zaida, Thamina, Basma, Yasmin, Muna, Nadra, Sabine, Selma, Ruba, etc.
BOYS - Nadim, Malik, Shariah, Yusuf, Hamza, Faris, Jiman, Munir, Samir, Tariq, Rauf, Zain, Zaid, etc.
2: My favorite name is Farah, it means "joy". We almost named our first child this. I prefer this original spelling as well. Maram and Nima are also some favorites. All three of those names are unisex, though I happen to prefer all three on girls.

I'm not a huge fan of male Arabic names but I think there are an abundance of beautiful female Arabic names out there.
In addition to the three you've mentioned, I also like:
Aaliyah / Aliya
Alya
Alina
Amina / Amena
Hana
Laila / Leila (I prefer these spellings to Layla)
Lina
Mariam
Nadia / Nadya
Sana
Tahira
My favourites are Alya and Amena :-)
