I love Nadia, and really enjoy Zuleikha and Zaynab, although I prefer the Zuleika and Zeinab spellings.

---

The others aren't my style. Dania and Sahar are pretty enough. Malak seems masculine to me, and Thurayya sounds like Soraya with a lisp.

I like Nadia and Zaynab.

I love Zaynab. I once taught grade 8 and mentioned to a Zaynab that I knew another Zaynab that went by Zane... and then Zaynab decided to also go by Zane announcing it to the class.

I like Dania a lot, and Zuleikha is gorgeous.
The others I struggle with, I guess mainly because of the way they're transcribed - but don't actively dislike.
Another Arabic name I really like is Samia / Samiya.

I like Zuleikha and Nadia, of those, and am neutral on the rest.
