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.

Discombobulatedfrenzy · 01/09/2022 07:22

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.
