There is no religious impediment to naming a child "Mira," "Raneem," "Lamees," or "Jouri." As for "Sidra," if "Sidra" (without an elongated 's') is intended, its meaning is known, and it is permissible to name a child this. It is recommended to choose a beautiful name for the newborn that does not involve ambiguity or obscurity.
