My daughters name is Persian. She is Roxanna

Zohreh is beautiful and memorable.

My neighbour is Haleh, although when she was still at school everyone called her Holly. I'm glad when she became an adult she reverted back to her proper name, I think it's nice.

Nahideh is nice and easy to say

I was also going to suggest Soraya. It’s my daughters middle name, she has Persian lineage ❤️

Yasmine or Vahedeh.

I have an Iranian friend called Katayoun. I've always thought it a pretty name but I've no other reference for it, so for all I know it could be considered really old-fashioned in Iran.

I've doubled the 'a's where the sound is 'aa' like in 'aardvark' so people understand the phonetic pronunciation.

StColumbofNavron · 03/10/2021 11:33

Parisa and Shirin as suggested by others are utterly beautiful.

KhalliWhalli · 03/10/2021 11:36

Dalia?

Dipsydoodlenoodle · 04/10/2021 14:52

I know 2 Persian ladies Lida and Laila, so I can only go with their names :)

Ruthietuthie · 04/10/2021 14:57

Azadeh, meaning free.

Thanks everyone for these amazing suggestions! How would Zohreh be pronounced?

@Winterwinter54

Thanks everyone for these amazing suggestions! How would Zohreh be pronounced?
Zawh - reh (with a soft h pronounced both times).

Personally my favourite Persian girl's names are Niloufar and Sepideh.

Winterwinter54 · 04/10/2021 22:35

@CaribouCarafe Thanks! I really like the name Sepideh too.
