Choosing Nargis
A Muslim name does not have to be Arabic. Scholars allow names from any language as long as the meaning is good and the name is not tied to another religion. Nargis has a good meaning, so it is fine to use. With the father's name it becomes Nargis bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
