(1)           Banafsha is a kind of flower and a self-growing plant used for influenza and cold. You can name a girl Banafsha.

(2)           Shanum has many meanings in dictionary; some are good while some are bad; therefore it is better to choose any other name.

(3)           Meaning of Adifaah could not be found in dictionary.
