Persian Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] All!

We just found out #2 is a girl who will be joining big brother [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] in [name_u]August[/name_u].

We’d like to use another Persian name that isn’t too difficult for my southern family to pronounce :wink:

[name_f]My[/name_f] frontrunner right now is [name_f]Maryam[/name_f]/[name_f]Mariam[/name_f] but DH isn’t in love (yet lol). [name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer:
[name_f]Maryam[/name_f] [name_f]Elsa[/name_f] or [name_f]Mariam[/name_f] [name_f]Elsa[/name_f]
or
[name_f]Maryam[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] or [name_f]Mariam[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]

Other contenders for fn are
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Roxana[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosetta[/name_f]
[name_f]Parisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer one of these?

We are ABSOLUTELY open to other suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

I definitely prefer [name_f]Elise[/name_f] with [name_f]Maryam[/name_f], and like the Y.

Easy names: [name_f]Layla[/name_f], Nasrine, [name_f]Shirin[/name_f], [name_f]Soraya[/name_f]. I love [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] most of all.

I adore [name_f]Maryam[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f], it’s perfect. :slight_smile: I also second [name_m]Blade[/name_m]'s suggestions of [name_f]Soraya[/name_f] and [name_f]Layla[/name_f]. [name_f]Jessamine[/name_f] and [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] are lovely too.

I like [name_f]Mariam[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f] the best!

[name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Mariam[/name_f] would also be gorgeous.

[name_f]Parisa[/name_f] is pretty! Also [name_f]Samira[/name_f] or Medina…don’t know how legit. they are, but I’ve heard both names used for children featured in news reports from the middle east.

[name_f]Parisa[/name_f] is beautiful, I also really like [name_f]Esther[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosetta[/name_f].

With [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m], I definitely would choose [name_f]Parisa[/name_f]. But with [name_f]Elise[/name_f] I’m not sure it sounds great… [name_f]Parisa[/name_f] [name_f]Maryam[/name_f]?

[name_f]Parisa[/name_f] just made me swoon. [name_m]How[/name_m] have I not heard this name…love it.

Also love [name_f]Maryam[/name_f].

The most beautiful Persian name imo is [name_f]Soraya[/name_f], it is beautiful and has gorgeous flow.

[name_f]Parisa[/name_f] sounds pretty too.

[name_f]Maryam[/name_f] is a little hard to say I think it would be confused with [name_f]Miriam[/name_f] all the time.
