Favorite girl Arabic names? Do you like the name “Aya”

[Anonymous]

We are leaning to calling our baby Aya. Thoughts?
Any other pretty but simple Arabic names? Not looking to scream “Arab” so please no Zainab or Fatima

I am not a huge fan of Aya but think it's decent. I love Arabic names for girls in general. Lots of great choices. Nora is Arabic but passes for non-Arabic. Same with Leila. Samira is my favorite

Ayah means nurse maid in my language.

I really like it.

Maya and Amira are both nice

I don't love Aya, it seems as though it's missing something. Also means governess in Spanish.
Lots of great Arabic names for girls though! I like Zahra, Leila, Noura, Farah - many others too.

I don't love Aya because it has many different meanings in other languages -- grandmother, "oh my!", etc...

Amal, Tamara, Noor

Not a big fan of Aya. But there is Anissa, Alyssa (in Arabic the “A” is written as a “ein”), Amira, etc.
