I like Andrew and Thomas. My dh isn't really suggesting anything actually. I'm leaning towards going with something more western. Baby already gets a Muslim surname.

I do like Andrew and Thomas!! Do they have Muslim equivalents?

Not OP but I love Elyas. I wouldn't have thought it was Arabic.

Looks like Thomas is Tuma, but I'm not sure it's really a name. Andrew doesn't have a direct equivalent, but it means "manly" according to Google, and I am sure there are Arabic names with the same meaning.

Elias/Elyas/Ilyas was a prophet that Muslims also believe in.

Here's a great Islamic children's book with a character named Ilyas: http://www.amazon.com/Ilyas-And-Duck-Search-Allah/dp/0985072814

I don't think any of these names really transfer between English and Arabic.

Initially she asked for a specifically Arabic name for middle name.

I'm American and I would actually think both of those are female names. The one because it's similar to Iris and the other because it ends in "a." Female names tend to end in A in Romance languages (of which english is 1/2).
