Salamun Alaykum brothers and sisters,
My wife is expecting our second child, and I have put in many hours thinking of names. The ultrasound shows it may be a girl "most likely". My wife is totally unsure of what to name her, infact she has also thought of many names however she just seems like she is overwhelmed at the moment with the pregnancy so I try and help make suggestions and usually we build from whatever she likes. We named our first child (daughter) Kawthar.
So far we have shortened the long list down to a few choices given that my wife is in her 8th month. For arguments sake we have settled on girls names for the time being and if it is a boy we have a few suitable names we like. If our child is a girl we like:
1. BILQIS (The Queen of Sheba) mentioned in the Qur'an in Surah An-Naml
2. YAQEEN meaning certainty, lack of doubt, belief, faith. This choice seems more like a boys name but I wanted to hear input I guess of what everyone thinks. I personally think Yaqeen can be a unisex name like safa or noor. *Let me know what you think about this*
3. IZDIHAR meaning blossoming, derives from Zahra.
4. TASNIM meaning fountain or spring in paradise I Surah Al-Mutaffifin
Please let me know what you all think. Also, we are open to suggestions.
JazakumAllah Khair.
