The first (recommendation) is to name the two girls with well-known Arabic names, especially the names of the righteous female Companions, such as: Maryam (Mary), Asiya, Fatima, Khadijah, Aisha, Hafsa, Hind, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, Safiyyah, Zaynab, Sawdah, Juwayriyah, Umamah, Sahla, Asma, and Layla. For more options, one can refer to the book "Tasmiyat al-Mawlud" (Naming the Newborn) by Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd, may Allah have mercy on him.
