Answer

Khudaij (Arabic - dimunitive of Khadeej) meaning small, young, small bodied, of small statue, etc. (Dimunitives in Arabic are used to express endearment).

Roomaanah (Arabic) - a derivative of Raama - to seek or intend. Generally, a suffix of Alif noon denotes the superlative. Thus, Rooman (fem. Roomaanah) could mean determined, seeking, etc. A close match is Rummaanah meaning either pomegranate or navel (anactomy) - which is the centre of the body, thus, it could mean a central or focal figure, etc.
