| There are tons! Boy names can be a little trickier. There are a pile of girl's names that work in both Persian as well as in English: Maryam, Roxanne, Nikki, Farrah, Laleh, Leila, Kimya, Yasmine, Shirin, Sussan (Suzanne), Haleh (Holly), Roya, Vida, Zahra. And even the Persian names that are a little less common are relatively easy to pronounce and sound nice: Azadeh, Azita, Azar, Donya, Bahar, Farnaz, Firoozeh, Nazanin, Soraya, Tahereh, ... I could go on. |

I love Nazanin! It’s such a pretty name, if I had any connection to the culture no matter how remote, I would have used it.
Leila is great too. |

| Vida is so beautiful. You have so many great choices! The hard part would be narrowing it down to just one. |
