Okay, I've been raiding BtN on names from other cultures, and I found these rather lovely ones. Several have gorgeous, ornate meanings, others just sound nice. Wdyt?
F;Afra - whitish red
Aida - returning, visitor
Alia - sublime, lofty
Almas - diamond
Amani - wishes
Dima - downpour
Duha - morning
Fairuza - turqoise
Hadil - cooing of doves
Hala - halo around the moon
Izdihar - blossoming
Laila - night
Lamya - having beautiful dark lips
Lina - palm tree, tender
Nazli - delicate, beautiful
Noor - light (I always think Noor means dark, but oh no...)
Sadaf - seashell
Sahar - dawn
Samira - companion in evening talk
Sanya - radiant
Sawsan - lily of the valley
Shadya - singer
Sheherazade - person of the city
Tasneen - spring in paradise
Zahrah - blooming flower
Zubaida - marigold
M;Amir - prince

Those two that aren't hyperlinked are from 'A concise dictionary of first names' from Oxford.
