2. Saiful

Answer: Sword

A male name .

3. Ajmal

Answer: Most beautiful

A male name.

4. Farhan

Answer: Happy

Usually if one wants to create a female name out of a male name , they'll put -a or -ah behind a male's name. E.g. Farhan-Farhanah or Halim-Halimah. But it depends on suitability. Some female names will turn out to be funny and inappropriate if it is done like that.

6. Afif

In Malay language , 'Hakim' also means 'judge' . So , it makes sense that a judge should be wise , right?

9. Safura

Answer: Golden

It seems like a trend to put the name 'Mohamad' or 'Muhammad' in front of a son's name while for a girl , parents tend to attach the name 'Nor' or 'Nur',(which means light) followed by second name. For example , the name Nor Safura means 'light and golden'.I simply love this name!

10. Wardina

Answer: Our rose

I consider this name to be one of the popular modern names nowadays - thanks to Malaysia's actress Wardina Saffiah .
