Iranian or Asian Muslim baby boy

[Discombobulatedfrenzy]

These are my choices just yay or nay for each please (some are husband's choices not mine)

Keyaan (seems popular in the Muslim world at the moment)
Adam/Adahm (classic and works with all cultures)
Haris (same as above)
Zaviyar/zaviar
Zafar
Hamza
Yaqoub

I like Zafar the best... sounds very cool. Yaqoub I wouldn't be sure how to pronounce if that was a consideration.

I prefer Adam or Zafar from those choices.

Yaqoub is pronounced ya-koob it's the arabic version of jacob

I work with a guy called Hamza and he is absolutely lovely so edging towards that

Dh has just remembered there

Wouldn't say these are Iranian or Asian names. Look up Muslim/Islamic boys names for ideas:

Kayeen no one will ever spell write. Zafar or Adam sound ok.

Keyaan means king in persian
Zaviar is apparently an Asian named

Appreciate you haven't asked for suggestions but my favourite Iranian name is currently Ramin.

I've always liked the name Darius.

What about Ahmad, Ashraf, Karim?

@Discombobulatedfrenzy
Keyaan isn't the normal English spelling. It's Kian.

It's not kian!
The name is keyaan with a long Aah sound...completely different name

Keyaan - might get Anglicised to Kian, I assume your name has a longer sound at the end. It's nice though.
Adam/Adahm - retro for England but perfectly decent. I'd prob drop the h tho
Haris -, fine
Zaviyar/zaviar - as a Mom to a a xavier, I vote this one
Zafar - isn't he the baddy in Alladin?
Hamza - not keen
Yaqoub - like the sound but will be a lifetime of how do you spell it and say it

Adam and zaviar are my favourites the rest are dhs choices however I feel zaviyar looks made up too.
I know of one though. A Pakistani boy and he's 14 now.

However you want to spell it. The name is the same/same meaning and written one way in Farsi. Other cultures, Indian etc choose your spelling version more. Good luck with your final choice.

Kian means ancient, keyaan means crown or king.

@Discombobulatedfrenzy not in Persian it isn't https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kian(givenn_name)

You're looking at the name kian...its a different name.
Anyway you seem to be wanting to argue...
Anybody else have thoughts on the other names?
Didn't realise above didn't post properly, dh has realised his cousins child is names zafar so that's now out.

Hamza makes me think of Abu Hamza.

Adam is my favourite from your list.

I also love Omar, Ira, Kareem, Kamal, Hakim and Danyal

@hedgehogger1 that's exactly what I said to dh. It's a lovely name otherwse

She isn't looking for an anglicised version, me and possibly others just mentioned it might get pronounced as akian rather than Keyaan. This is Baby Names, no AIBU

I feel the same way about Hamza as many do about the name Myra.
A shame but that’s the way it is.
I have always been fond of the name Adam. A strong name, easy to say and spell .

Yusuf is beautiful - sorry not on your list Yaqub is nice

I like Yaqoob and Haris... Zafar sounds like Zatar. Adam is average and common. Not so keen on any of the others and dislike Hamza for the reasons already stated. I LOVE the Arabic names Luai and Laith.

Hamza was the prophet's uncle and it's a very popular name. Among Muslims no one would immediately think Abu Hamza who's been out of the news for a long time and won't be known by the time your baby grows up.

I think Zaviar might get confused with Xavier and people would be unsure how to pronounce the first letter. But if you like the name I'd go with the other spelling so it won't get rhymed with 'caviar.'
