I honestly don't care for any of them.

---

Basma - reminds me of plasma
Ibtisam / Ibtisama - both sound like gibberish and are extremely unwieldy

---

Basim - looks like a misspelling of Basil, makes me think of "bosom" or "bassoon"
Basima - same complaints as Basim

---

What about Fariha or Bahija? Both are feminine and mean "happy" in Arabic.

---

Farhan is a masculine alternative that also means "happy, cheerful."
