    Some Muslim students I've had are: (all female): Avan (pron. Yvonne), Heve (pron. Eve-ee), Anisa (Uh-nees-uh), Khadijah, Aisha, Mariya (Mar-ee-uh), Amira,

    I've always liked the names Umeed for a boy (it means Hope) and Zainab for a girl.

    I actually don't think there are any muslim names that sound canadian/american!

    For a boy though, you can use Daniel and Benyamin. Benyamin being the equivalent of Benjamin.

    Aisha and Aliyah are girls' names that could be used.

     

    Special K, omid is actually a persian/iranian name and not really a Muslim name. Muslim names are all arabic.

    Here's a website I just found using google. Hope it helps!

    Just checked out some of the names though. Be careful though. What I saw among them were even some Persian names which aren't really muslim names. (not in my opinion)

    These names are probably Arab as much as they are Muslim, but when I lived in Egypt, some popular girls/women's names were Aisha and Leila.  I've always liked Leila.

    I've heard Aisha and Aliya (sp?) used a lot.

    ETA:  And Rania, which I think is an absolutely gorgeous name. 

    (Do those names qualify?  I'm not really sure which names are Arabic and which aren't.)

    I was pretty sure that Ethan is a Hebrew name, actually.

    I love the name Zaynab and all of its various spellings.

    I really love the sound of Amir, no matter what the nationality! =)

    ETA: Oops, I missed that you were looking for girls names. I work with an Aisha and a Khatera and sadly they are the only two Muslims I know. But the religion has Judaic roots...could you also consider Torah names? Here's a list I found:

    Just looking at that, I don't think anyone would blink at names like Dinah, Mirriam, or Tamar. Sarah and Rachel have been popular American names for ages.
