Answer

(Fatwa: 1082/1082/M=1432)

The name Daniya for a girl is correct. It means: one who gets nearer, or one who lives happy life. (Al-Qamus al-Wahid)
You can keep any of these names for your son or daughter by adding any part of your name. If you are blessed with a boy you may choose any name like Saeed, Saad, Rashid, Masood, Mahmood, Afzal (these names mean good, obedience, the concept of praise). In case of baby girl, you can choose any of the following names: Barirah, Memuna, Tuba, Sa’dia, Afifa, Tayyiba, Rushda.
