I like 'Aisha, but I'd take out the apostrophe in English to make it easier.I don't like any of the others too much, but Soraya is my aunt's name! (I'm Iranian.)I would personally never use an Arabic name and an English name together. To me, it doesn't fit. My name is Layla (middle name Zahra,) and whenever I see a combo like Layla Marie or Layla Rose it just doesn't seem right to me at all.

I love Arabic names. As far as English mn names go, it really depends on the first name. Anyway, the mns I like best with Arabic girl names are Clare, Rose, Lily or Pearl - I don't really like my girls' names to be too classic sounding (like Elizabeth, Katherine, Margaret, etc). As far as my boys' - anything goes. Generally, I tend to stick to "modern", non-traditional, musical, nature-y or Biblical names (not necessarily because they're from the Bible but just because they're beautiful names) for both genders.
My faves...Zahra / Zahrah
Layla
Naima
Zaria
Ayesha / Aisha
Aminah
Zaira
Naila
Karima
ZakiyyaAkil
Nasir / Naseer
Sameer
Zayn
Jaleel

My one clear favorite is Na'ima prn "nye-EE-muh." I love that name beyond reason and would use it on my child in a heartbeat. The only male name I can think of that I truly love is Mohammed and its many spelling variations, therefore, these are my favorite girls' names.Aida
Fatima
Haifa
Laila / Layla
Lela
Mumina (the meaning is so original)
Nadia
Nasim (again, beautiful meaning)
Zaahira / Zahira
Zaida
Zaira

Soraya June
Noor Juliet
Karima Faith
Fairuz Lorelei
Raniya Willow
Isra Giselle
Alina Joan
