The answer

The name "Leem" (ليْم), with a kasra (short 'i' vowel) on the lām, means reconciliation and agreement or something similar in shape. With a fatḥa (short 'a' vowel) on the lām, it means lemon. There is no objection to naming a girl "Leem." As for the name "Taleen" (تاليْن), it has several potential meanings, such as the plural of "tāli" (from reciting the Quran or follower) or "tāli" (the fourth horse in a race). Although these meanings are valid, a girl should not be named "Taleen" due to its strangeness. One should choose a good name for a newborn because of its significant impact on its bearer.
