Foreign names like "Ayla, Lana, Ariana" should not be used unless their meanings are known, as they might carry negative connotations.
As for naming with "Tasbeeh," its permissibility seems apparent, although it is preferable to opt for more beloved names. "Subhan" is a designation for Tasbeeh, and there is no legal impediment to naming with it.
Among the beloved names of female Companions are: Aisha, Khadijah, Fatimah, Asma, Zainab, Safiyyah, Hafsah.
