I am thankful to my parents for giving me this name. It is amazing- I like how Zaynab rolls of your tongue. It is very pretty and I am 11 but I am half European, a quarter American and a quarter Muslim and they are both used in all the places I named and thanks again to my parents.
I love the name so much to the extent that if people asked why was I named Zainab, while I am not even a muslim I can't say anything but to smile. The name means a lot to me. I owe my parents for this lovely name because I am beautiful and make people around smile all day long.

I thank the person that has given me this name at my birth, because it is indeed a wonderful name. Every morning waking up carrying this name, I notice that I'm a blessing from my father.
I know the meaning of Zainab, (beauty) and each time I recall it gladdens my heart, not only because I am a Zainab but because I am indeed beautiful, classy, caring, and loving, and most of all I make people around me happy by putting a smile on their faces even when they least expect it, and lastly I do make my father proud *big smile* I love Allah.
My name is Zainab, and I think I'm the first person to have this name. But every time I'm asked what tree or flower my name is referencing I have no answer for people. Over all it is a rare name and it draws lots of attention when seen on resumes, people with this name are bound to be unique.
Even though I am not Arab, I love this name quite a lot. The "b" at the doesn't bother me at all. But I do agree "Zayna" is more mellifluous, but still "Zaynab" is a great name.
Honestly, when I first read this name, it just sounded like a word spelled backwards, like "carrot" rewritten as "Torrac". Funnily enough, I actually prefer this name spelled backwards: Banyaz! The Indonesian word for "much" or "many" is "banyak" and "banyaz" feels to me like it means, "abundance". Zaynab sounds like a sci-fi character. "Tune in next week when Zaynab, Queen of the Teknits, gets lost in the Black Hole of Quaos!" -- or something like that. It's too clipped and the ending seems abrupt, and could end-up sounding like, zay-nap, or "say nap". What about, Zaynaba? It's softer. Zayna is prettier too.
