A brother for Artemis

[Pumpkindoodles]

We’re Persian, dd is Artemis which is technically a Persian name but not so much a ‘traditional’ Persian name. I’m looking for something similar for DS. I don’t like a lot of the usual Persian options like Darius, and we have lots other Persian children around so all the obvious ones that work in English are taken.
i liked Caspar and Cyrus for example but can’t have them
I also like Shehyar, but I’m worried about using names that are too foreign to British people because I know sometimes people are treated poorly then.
any ideas?

Alexander

Apollo seems too obvious 😄 I like the Alexander suggestion!

Shame you don’t like Darius, it’s nice I think

some of these have different spellings I know, but you could always call him Yousef, but use Joe as a day to day short form

Alexander
Jasper
Abraham (Abe, Bram)
Roshan
Joseph
Daniel
Karim
Armen

Shehyar I do think would be a hassle

Rayan (Persian: رایان Rāyān [ˈraːjaːn]), also spelled Ryan or Rayaan, is an Iranian given name of Persian origin. It is primarily a male given name that means "smart", "wise" or "thinker".

I don't have any advice, but I just wanted to write that I think Artemis is such a beautiful name!

Xerxes

Bahram. I met a Persian chap named this through work and I thought it was lovely.

Apollo. What else could you choose, although I suppose it's not Persian?
Thinking about Cyrus and Darius, what about Xerxes? But I suppose it's probably too bleeding obvious. What about Melchior? That's Persian and the Magi are wonderful.

Oh, please do not call him Joe. Give him a proud Persian name and to hell with people who can't pronounce it or think it's "foreign."

Shehyar is two syllables!

Dastan
Alexander
Arlo
Cassian (similar to Caspar)

Shahin or Reza are my Iranian favourites

Artemis is one of my absolute favourite names; what excellent taste you have. Likewise Darius! Not helpful, sorry. I agree with others you should consider Xerxes, which is fabulous.

Bardia

I like Rayaan or Reza.

But assuming that the lots of Persian people around aren't all family, surely you can use a name you really like? It's not like English people don't duplicate names within a friendship/acquaintance group.
