yes a friend of mine is named Nah'la....her 4 yr old is in my prek class and her name is Habiba. She's so cute! I like both of their names too. Yasemin is another of my preschoolers.

I love Leila (that transliteration) and Amira (by coincidence, there's a non-related Hebrew girls' name Amira with two separate meanings depending on the first character of the Hebrew alphabet transliterated as A).
Amira Leila is beautiful.
Yasemine is lovely, though I prefer Yasmin.
I also like Mariam (so closed to Miriam, which I love) and Shirin (not listed).
