Persian boys name advice please

[OldFarticus]

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!

My son is called Cyrus, lovely name! I'm not Persian however, but I loved the unusual names!

Is Faris Persian? Not sure if it fits the criteria but I love how it sounds.

I'm half Iranian and until recently was very keen on a Persian name. Caspar and Jasper are top of my list but I like Cyrus, Darius, Dara and Kian too. Arya is very common as a girls name now. Sam is the name my two sisters and I would have had had we been boys, it was the only boys name my parents could agree on (my Dad had similar no-Arabic name preferences!)

I'm due in November and torn on whether I go with a Persian name or not, the only one DH finds acceptable is Jasper!

Sam or Cyrus

Just looked at a list of Persian names.

I like Rostam, Sam and Navid.

I have never heard Atash before but I quite like the sound and it means fire.
