1) Safa -- A hill near Ka'ba towards the south werefrom the Sa'i takes a start.

2) Reem - Arabic for Gazelle

3) Hiba - Arabic for gift

4) Isra - Arabic, derived from the trip that Prophet Muhammad (S) took at night

5) I heard Habiba is also a nice name to name your girl, it means beloved.

Please don't make your kids names rhyme.

I like Lana! It's also an American name btw isnt it? And Aaliyah is always a classic.
