Hello
Our baby boy is arriving in December. My DH is Persian and is very keen for our DS to have a sense of his culture, to learn Farsi and have a Persian name. This is all fine and dandy with me. Our surname is very Iranian so a Noah/Jack/Fred type name would sound a bit weird.
He also insists on no religious names of any persuasion! Again, fine with me.
The only problem is that I don't like any of the names he has suggested. So far, options are Cyrus, Darius, Arya or Saam (Sam). I am leaning towards Arya (my grandfather was "Archie" and I think that's what he would go by) but I am scared it's too much like "Aryan" and people will think we are neo nazis possibly overthinking I am also aware it has become accepted as a girl's name in the UK.
Can anyone think of any others? What do people think of Sam and Arya (front runners)?
TIA!
