I think I've got it!

ooh, I might have it--Badriya Al-Badi'a, Badriya the Unique (or unexpected, amazing, etc).  Good meaning, and a nod to Badi'a Massabni as well.  There is a troupe out there called Badi'a Fusion, but I don't think there'd be any confusion since they're tribal and out in California, and another tribal troupe called R'asa Badi'a Tribal Fusion, but they're in Missouri.  Thanks to tisana  for getting me thinking about alliteration and checking name lists!

you could do a nod to Nick Cave and be "Badriya the Astonishing."

That was completely in the back of my mind when I picked this name :-)
