Cyrus - very cool, I love it.

We have an Aryan in the family.

I preferred DSs name to reflect his mums culture/family with such a foreign sounding (long, often misspelled) surname. I guess I believe that my family should have equal billing to reflect the childs background.

All our family love our sons name and even great grandpa chortled at the thought of going full Persian with the childs name. Wise man, baba joon. He was so proud of his great grandson.

Cyrus is really cool especially with Cy as a nn.

I really like Cyrus! And as there aren't many around, he will make the name his own, as in people will associate it with your ds pretty quickly.

Cyrus is great! Please don't use Aryan, with all the fascist governments shooting up.

Yes surname is Iranian and we already have a Siroos in the family so would go with the more anglicised Cyrus, nickname Cy.

Daughter is Ariana so couldn't use Aryan and don't like the connotations hence why we changed the spelling of DD's name.
