I'm slightly biased, as I grew up around a lot of Arabs and have an Arabic name myself.MALES
Rami is one of my personal faves, after Rami Malek a famous Egyptian American actor
Qays, another good one. Sometimes spelled "Kyce" bc "Qays" might make English tongues mispronounce it to rhyme with "days"
Amin and Hassan = pretty straightforward names
Abbas, Feres, Ghassan = maybe a little hard to pronounce
tbh I'm skeptical about "Iskandar" bc I've never heard of itFEMALES
I really like Nour, it's a common unisex name & so nice and simple
Zahra is also pretty common, it means flower but if you're going for a floral name Warda (rose) would also work!
Karima, Jamila = pretty straightforward pronounciation
Fairuz, Hadiyya = maybe not
Basma is pronounced "bess(like Tess)-ma" despite the A lol
Bilqis is the Queen of Sheba in Islamic legend, she was awesome, intelligent, great woman 10/10 would use

Oh, almost forgot Muna! Also spelled Mona, a culturally crossable name. I've heard it used for both white and Arab peoplelmk if there's anything else you want to know, pronounciations, whatever

Rami and Zahra are my favorites out of the names listed. I like the fact that Rami is both Hebrew and Arabic and that Finland and Japan both have similar names. It gives the name an international appeal. In general, I tend to favor Persian names over Arabic, but it varies. Some Arabic names I like:
Boys:
Amir
Anwar
Aqil
Fikri "intellectual"
Firdaus
Wasi "broad-minded, liberal, learned"
Zain "beauty, grace"Girls:
Aida
Amira
Zahira
Asra "travel at night"
Dana "wise"
Farah
Nadira

Of the names you listed, I like Farid, Iskandar, Karima, Jamila, Zahra, Muna and Hadiyya.I like Arabic names as much as I like any others. There are good and bad, and it's all subjective. Unfortunately, as many beautiful Arabic names as there are (and there are a lot), I can seldom justify using one as someone who has little to no connection to Arabic culture.On my PNL, I have Aminah and Layla.
