Middle name for Aryan?

[FreddoPops]

Prefer a more common and international middle name.

Any ideas?

Haven't read all the posts; but just wanted to say DS was nearly called Aryan, it's a great name

....and it's pronounced Aah-ree-un

Dp is Indian btw, it's an Indian name. Aryan Sachin
Aryan Kiran
Aryan Lars
Aryan Krishna

Aryan Circle

Adolf is also a legitimate name. How about Aryan Adolf to really mess with your child?

I'm sorry I really really think this is a bad idea. I couldn't possibly meet a child called Aryan without thinking of the nazis. I wouldn't assume the parents were white supremacists but I would definitely wonder!

Some posters above are saying the name is pronounced differently, in which case please just change the spelling so it's written the day that you want it to be said.

Vatta Aryan is the correct spelling.

Mistletoe It is a great name. But it's very hard to find a name to pair it with. I have a ridiculous amount of names for girls that work across religions/cultures: Hannah, Sarah, Zara, Sara, Mona etc. Why are boys names such pitas

I have taught a few Aryans. Mind you, I've also taught a Zulfucker and I'd hesitate to recommend that one

Unless you have Arabic links, I wouldn't use it.

Are you Indian? What about Aryan zakiriah

tethersend
If you meant Zulfikar. It's pronounced Zul-fee-car.

I thought of that Art but I don't think it flows nicely.

BTW I never asked for opinions on 'Aryan' which is what this thread seems to have become.

Ok, I think we all know that you didn't ask for comments on aryan, but the fact that people are commenting on it should give you an indication of how offensive and shocking that name is to many people.

If you ask for suggestions on a name with such connotations wtf do you expect?

Just out of interest Freddo, did you know what the connotations were in Europe before picking the name? If not then this explains it.

Is the OP being deliberately obtuse ? I sense there's a backstory here.

FWIW I know a delightful Aryan from when I lived in the ME (he was of Indian origin) and Hindu irrc .. They had a welcome mat which had what I thought to be a swastika and threw me completely

Unless you are of similar heritage I'm sure you OP know your being a twat.

Whatever middle name you go for make sure it's really good, because I reckon it's going to come in useful.

I like Ryan or Ian. Rhyming takes the focus off the, err, y'know, the Nazi thing.

Freddie, no need for the humpy face, that is how his parents spelled it.

He really was called Zulfucker. If you pronounced it incorrectly whilst reading it in your head, then take it up with them.

That's the first time I've been accused of mispronouncing a name without even opening my mouth

You're just going to make that child's life difficult.
And why?
Do you like it all that much?
To answer the OP, you can always use Rudolf, Hermann, Heinrich or Adolph.

What about dauod?
Zafar?

Are you wanting a Soith East Asian, Arabic name Op? If so then that does put another slant on your OP.

Fwiw my Dh is of Pakistani heritage, and i,m constantly surprised by the wealth of names. First time I ever met a Shamus (Seamus) threw me. My dh people are Pathans, so this one had roaring red hair, that really threw me! .

Your child will not thank you for giving him this name. You're effectively condemning him to a life of being judged for a name he had no choice over. Surely you want better for him?

South ^

The world doesn't revolve around Europe.

Aryan has been used way before Hitler and will continue to be used well after.

And anyone who sees an Indian child and thinks white supremacist is a bit dim TBH.

And yes, coffeeinbed we do 'like it all that much'. And why wouldn't we, it's a beautiful name with deep roots in our culture and history.

Sorry for the humpy face tethersend but if they were Muslim/South Asian I still think they would have meant Zulfikar

Will the child be living in Europe?

Rohan/Rowen
Sunny/Sonny
Hari/Harry
Jay
Ray
Syon

It's not just Europe.
It was WW2, as in World War Two.

And you asked on an website based in Europe. So the answers will reflect that.
