Haadiya
Hidaya
anabiya
Nabiya

W/salaam. I feel like you could try double-barrel names.
My daughter is Hawwa Noor, my niece is Inaya Imaan. Surprisingly, they do not struggle saying any of these names, if anything they quite like them.
I've found double barrel names to be sooooo cute and unique as you can pick and choose whichever you like, whatever rolls off the tongue for you.
Examples:
Yumna (blessed)
Aisha/Ayesha (prosperous/ name of the Prophet Muhammad's wife)
Layla (the night)
Hayat (life)
All names can be double barreled with:
Noor/Nur (light)
Imaan (faith)
Zahra (flower/radiant)
Nisa (woman)
Of course, all names are beautiful if you'd prefer single names.
One thing to remember; you may see the baby and think she looks nothing like the name you picked. Maybe the vibe of the name doesn't quite suit her. So go into naming her with flexibility.
Sometimes, looking for names, you don't like any until you say them out loud, or to someone else/someone you trust.
Good luck finding one, InshaAllah you find one soon enough!

Me and hubby had one girl name our entire marriage and after 10 years when our baby girl came along, we didn’t use it as her first name lol. We named her Safiyyah 💞

Salaam Sis, Before I named my daughter ‘Aaliyah’, I actually had a dream that I was going to name her ‘Dua’. I think it’s soo beautiful and Unique - it is not overly- commonly but such a powerful name. Just a thought for you xx
