Popular arab/muslim names? ?? Help!

I'm white but my boyfriend is Lebanese.  I know picking a name is going to be a battle.  I'm not sure how to even go about looking for cute names that we would both agree on. What are some girl or boy names that might appease us both?  He'd never go along with anything standard IE Bob Jim Sue Sally ect.

In many Muslim cultures, the men do all the naming of the children. Compromise may or may not be difficult. :/

My friend named her daughter Amali. I really like it. It's Arab, but still a little bit softer. A-mal-ie

You could look up Lebanese names on Nameberry or similar sites, and pick the ones that seem the most often also seen in the United States.  Or you could use Lebanese or Middle Eastern place names.  I know a little girl named after the river Jordan, for example.
