Friend BA
My friend Amir and his wife Yasmin have welcomed their first child, a girl, today.Her name is Zaida Noor. Both names are honoring - Zaida honors Amir's grandmother while Noor honors one of Yasmin's aunts.(Both Amir and his wife are Muslims, although neither of them are particularly devout. Amir is full-blooded Lebanese while Yasmin is three-quarters Lebanese and one-quarter Syrian.)WDYT?

Congratulation..to your friends!I love the name Noor (but spelled Nour)! Zaida is not my cup of tea but as it's honouring so is nice.Amir and Yasmina are both lovely names too!!!

NMS but very nice with a good flow. For some reason, Zaida doesn't seem as harsh to me unlike other Z names (Zelda, Zipporah). I also like that the family set sounds great together (not that it matters in the long run): Amir, Yasmin (love it), and little Zaida.

It's a beautiful name. I especially like Noor, which is one of my goddaughter's middle names too (different spelling though)

That is a gorgeous name! I haven't heard Zaida before. I've been into zippy little names for a bit, and Noor is always beautiful.

It is a lovely combination both names go beautifully together and the meaning of the entire name is fantastic. I like Zaida never thought about it before and Noor is absolutely beautiful. Please Vote PNL: http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/151224

Absolutely gorgeous. Two stunning names.

I like the sound of Zaida but not the meaning, and I like the meaning of Noor but not the sound, so I think it's a great combo (as Pink Princess pointed out, the combined meaning "to increase light" is beautiful). I think it's nice that both names are honoring as well.

I like the fact her fn and mn combined means, "To increase light", that's just beautiful. The sound of the name is quite nice too. My DH is Lebanese / Syrian also!

I adore Noor. I'm so over Z names at the moment, I feel like they are just exploding!I've actually taught a few Noor's both boy and girl. It's a lovely name.
