I've always liked the name Darius.

What about Ahmad, Ashraf, Karim?

Appreciate you haven't asked for suggestions but my favourite Iranian name is currently Ramin.

Keyaan means king in persian
Zaviar is apparently an Asian named

Wouldn't say these are Iranian or Asian names. Look up Muslim/Islamic boys names for ideas:

Kayeen no one will ever spell write. Zafar or Adam sound ok.

Dh has just remembered there

I work with a guy called Hamza and he is absolutely lovely so edging towards that

Yaqoub is pronounced ya-koob it's the arabic version of jacob

I prefer Adam or Zafar from those choices.

I like Zafar the best... sounds very cool. Yaqoub I wouldn't be sure how to pronounce if that was a consideration.
