Hello All,

My husband and I are looking at names that can work well within the Western communities we live in but also root back to our Asian/Persian/Indian roots. We want a Boys nake starting with A or L letters. What does everyone think of Armaan (pronounced Ar - Marn) or Aryan?

Thank you!

How about Amin?

A boy in my daughter's class is called Aryan, but it's pronounced Ari-yaan. It's a lovely name and he's a super kid. Failing that Adam or Adaam are nice names. I would have called my daughter Adam had she been a boy 🙂

Definitely avoid the second one.

Armaan is ok, but it sort of reminds me of aardvark. I know. I know Confused
Is Armand a french name? That popped in to my head.

Amir
Abbas
Ali
Ashkan

I can't think of any Persian boys names beginning with L.

Are you fixed on those letters?

Thanks so much everyone! Will consider all the options. I'm finding the letter L names difficult to love, where as A has much more options.

Not Amin! Please no 😁. Or Aydan.
You used the word Persian which is a slightly different connotation than Iranian so the names will be more tricky if you are looking for a specific feel. I think adding a first letter to that adds difficulty. Are there any Persian books, poems etc you could find inspiration in? Then you can post here and everyone will point out the aryans and amins.
