Can someone please recommend a modern Arabic muslim name?

The baby is due InshAllah early next year, and we are having great difficulty in finding a modern but meaningful Arabic name for a girl or a boy! Thank you!

Can someone please recommend a modern Arabic muslim name?
Why do you specify a modern name?





The best names for boys are names of prophets or names referring to characteristics of Allah, such as Adam, Musa, Ibrahim, Isa, Muhammad, Harun, and Abdal-Rahman, etc, also Abdallah.





The best names for girls are names from the families of prophets, such as Sarah, Hagera, Maryam, Khadija, Fatima, Ruqayaa, Um-Kulthum, etc. also Amatallah.





We should avoid names that have bad or negative meanings.





Also names like Rahma and Rahim should not be used, because it may lead people to saying things like "Rahim is not here." (Mercy is not here.)
Reply:Girl: Leila, Iman, Fatima


Boy: Fareed, Khalid, Amir





I don't know what you would consider meaningful. Do you have any deceased, beloved family members you could name your baby after?
