My SO is Christian Pakistani, and we're not too serious atm, but I've just been trying to think about sophisticated girls' names that would work in both our cultures (I'm Christian American). I'm thinking about Saffira, which is the Latin spelling of the Biblical Sapphira to avoid any pronunciation confusion. It's a little unusual, but I figure people here would just assume it's Pakistani with her last name, and Pakistanis may just assume it's some variant of the Arabic names Saffiya or Firrah, which it resembles. I like Fira as an occasional nickname.

So WDYTO of Saffira?
WDYTO of her as a sibling to Nora Aliza and Talia Nikita--my other current favorites?
And do you have any middle name suggestions? I haven't come up with any yet.

Thanks.
