Little boy. We have heritage of Polish, Persian and English and i cant decide which way to go!. Surname is Iranian starting with k.

-Rayan jude or Rayaan Jude (better reflects how its pronounced)

-Tomasz Jude

-Miles Jude

Which out of those if you had to pick?

Tomasz

Will his surname be Polish or Persian? It might be fairest to choose the other for his first name.

Thank you all

Rayan is lovely when pronounced correctly....I guess the nickname his friends would call him would be ray? which maybe is a bit grandad like?

Tomasz is pronounced with a 'sh' at the end.. I guess he might default to Tom when he's older which would make me a tad sad as I like the full polish name...its my family thats polish, husband is half iranian

Some of you made a point that maybe I need to have a name from each aspect of his heritage in there and now I think of it I would be sad to have no classic polish name in the mix (middle name would be fine)

He's two weeks old so I need to really make a decision and this post has helped!

I don't think Rayaan needs a nickname. It's a beautiful name. I like Tomasz and Miles too but Rayaan is lovely, I've known children also with the spelling Reyan/Reyaan pronounced the same which perhaps helps with the pronunciation? Appreciate that might not be the Persian way of spelling it.

All of your choices are great. Probably Tomasz, Rayaan, Miles in order

And a photo would probably help us decide......... Grin

I like the idea of representing all his heritage, and with the surname being Persian and you living here, I would go with the Polish first name.

Why not Tomasz Miles? Is there a special reason for Jude as the mn as you've put that for all three?

Tomasz

love it

FayCarew · 29/01/2023 10:52

If he is half Polish, quarter Iranian and a quarter British, then I'd use Tomasz.
A completely iranian name might be too much if he is going to be brought up in a more european way, and don't know if I'm right but there may not always be good feelings about Iran.
