Arabic names???

Tell them to look on here at the Arabic names! It depends on what style of Arabic name they would be after. There are some lovely ones though.
If you or your friend go to the home page, you'll see a link to "Arabic names." Here are a sampling of girl's names that I think are U.S.er-friendly:
Aaminah / Aminah / Amina
Aida
Alina
Amira / Amirah
Arwa
Farah / Farrah
Hana
Hania
Iman
Jalila
Jamila
Khadija
Leila ("LAY-luh")
Lulu (!)
Malika
Maryam
Mona / Muna
Nadia / Nadiyya
Naima
Noor / Nur
Rafiqa
Raisa
Raniya
Salma
Shahrazad
Suhaila (see Suhail)
Tahira
Yasmin / Yasmine
Zaida
Zaynab
Zia / Ziya
Sorry. I thought you were looking for feminine names or I would have picked out some masculine names as well. Happy hunting!

Fabulous. I've always loved the "meel" sound in names and Jamila also has the added bonus of a soft "j" sound too. It's music to my ears. Nn Mimi would be so cute for a Jamila.
Shahrazad actually exists? I thought it was a GP. Wow. Neat! I used both Jamila and Shahrazad on one of my polls today. I'd be very pleased if you were to vote in them. :-)

Abeer, it means fragrance! This is the only Arabic name I know because I go to school with a girl name Abeer, and her family was originally from Palestine!
