Parisa (Persian and Hindu for fairy like)

You are an Iranian Muslim family and Parisa is your lithe pride and joy. The associated lucky number for Parisa is one, and you decided to stop at one child.

Iranian Americans are among the most highly educated people in the US, and your family is no exception. You have extended family who are thriving in business, academia, science, the arts and entertainment.

Your family arrived after 1979, following the Iranian Revolution and fall of the Persian Monarchy. They originally settled in LA California in the Tehrangeles community.  Now, 1,500,000 Iranians who were born in Iran are living in the US. This number does not even include US born Iranians and other groups with Iranian ancestors.

There is a lot of pressure in your family to become a doctor, lawyer, engineer or tech entrepreneur. Both you and your husband have advanced degrees and work for Amazon at their new head quarters in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia.

Your favorite movie is My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The dad claiming that everything good originated in Greece and the kids should be proud to be Greek is almost exactly what you heard growing up about Iran being the original cradle of civilization. Also instead of taking moussaka left overs for school lunch, you had to take the far stranger and smellier gharmeh sabzi. You attended Persian classes on the weekends and no one could pronounce your name.

Hence, you and your husband chose a Persian name that is easy for most people to pronounce, with a whimsical meaning. You want your daughter to feel connected to her heritage but free to pursue life goals of her own choosing. You may find it hard to accept if she goes into country music though. The melodramatic lyrics and twangy simple melodies just make little sense to you. Who knows, Nashville may be ready for Parisa by now …
