Help[Opinions] Re: Ida got replaced by...

Iman, Imani, Imane mean "faith" and I have only met children of Muslim families named this. It's interesting that in the US this is not the case.
To me, not all Arabic names are the same. Some are way more religious sounding to me than others. I have many Muslim and Arabic speaking friends and most of their names don't bring up a religious image.
Iman and Imane definitely sound religious to me (maybe also because they are similar to "imam"), but Aaliyah does not. Sort of like Jedidiah sounds very religious to me but Sarah does not (even thought it is also Biblical).
