Salam aleikum, Can you tell me if the names Naylufar, Nuralain and Feryal are good names for girls and what do they mean. My wife likes these names but I want an arabian name with a nice meaning for my daughter.I was told that Naylufar means mountain lotus and Feryal means either beauty of light or just proper name. Can you help me out?

It is not an Islamic name but you can use it since it has a good meaning. You can use either Naylufar or Neelufar, whichever one you like more.
