The names "Zahra" and "Laila"

Q: My husband and I are having our first child and we also wanted your advice regarding two other names we have chosen, Zahrah and Laila. Please advise the correct spelling and if these are acceptable names to keep for our soon to be baby girl?

A: You may keep these two names and the Arabic spellings are زهرة and ليلى

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
