Favorite Baby names?!

Salam! What are your favorite baby names?!!

With the baby on the way and all I've been looking at names/meanings but I only like a few :/!
I want something different that not a lot of people have! Also I like cute nicknames example, for Ali its Alooshy, Mariam (Mariuma), Fatima (Fatuma,Fufu), Hassan (Soona)! HELP?


So far this is what I have chosen for both a girl and a littlee boy:
*Amal -Hope inspiration
-Daania :means near/close in proximity. It is mentioned in the Qur'an and is used in the description of heaven, where the fruit hangs down close to the dwellers of heaven. **cute**
*Leena- A devoted one
-Gazelle/Giselle - A deer
*Salima -Safe
-Lamia - Shine


Boys**
Adyan- A nabee was named by this name
Abdul Rahman: Servant of the merciful one, Servant of the Beneficent
Abdullah -Servant of Allah
-Noah (Nuh)- A nabee
-Ahad The one
Omar -Companion Omar ibn Khattab

-Not sure why almost all the names start with A* haha. Anywho my top FAVORITE
boy name is Nuh (Noah) after the Nabee :) Absolutely in love with it,.

Prego & Ramadan

Assalamu`Alaikam!!!

Ramadan starts very soon!! Woo hoo the only thing is I highly doubt i'll be fasting! Due to being preggo!!!!! (Al-Hamdulilah)! The hubby has been making sure whenever I leave the house to grab a water bottle! The bathroom has become my bestfriend and worst enemy o_O especially during the night. I swear its clock work I wake up every two hours (AHHHH). Oh the joys of being pregnant hehe. Hm on to a boring topic I'm still trying to figure out a major. I like business however I've been advised not to go into that (stupid recession). Maybe medical evennn thoughh i dislike blood. See my dilemma?! haha inshAllah I'll figure it out soonn enough. Okiedokie that's my short posting for now!

RAMADAN KAREEM everyone :) :) :)

Advice to myself

Sometimes being honest is hard to do it especially when it comes to yourself. Emotions make the whole process even harder! :( One minute you're "feeling" one way and the next it the total opposite. That's why you have to make a concrete decision with your mind first then the emotions follow. Allah controls the heart & everything else and that in itself is the best reassurance one could ask for, Al-Hamdulilah.

• Stop following "feelings" -emotions, egos, pride
• Stop following "friends"
• Stop following "whats cool"
  

*Follow Rabbil 'alameen (Lord of the worlds)

I know how I feel will just pass and I will remain with what I have. So I have to develop a critical eye to what is suitable & would cause the best outcome. I don't want to just go through life I want to get the most out of it. I want to truly live and if that makes a person selfish so let it be. A person must be confident and strong within themselves before they can pursue any dream. -Constantly look back and see if whatever that may be is still what you want.

I'm in a weird stage in my life. I'm in this in between, finding/creating myself. Going through the waves and seeing what keeps me a float. May Allah guide me through these words and duas. && guide the rest of the Ummah. Ameen.
