Baby is half Persian and DP likes Cyrus for a boy. Opinions pls? Does it work in the UK?

Makes me think of Cyrus as in Con Air (I think that is who RiverTam was referring to) or Cyrus as in Billy Ray. Sorry!

Si-rus of sirr-rooz? Farsi isn't all that easy to wrap your mouth around!

Cyrus is a great name! Cool, easy to say/spell and not overused.

Is the surname traditional though? If you are living here/bringing him up here I'd not go the full Monty with both Persian first and surnames.

Reza? Ramin? Cyrus is OK, but makes me think Billy Ray. To me it sounds more American than Persian.

Billy Ray?

originalmavis · 07/11/2016 22:19

Darius perhaps.

Wasn't Cyrus the virus a very unpleasant fictional serial killer? Can't remember the film.
