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.

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!
