I'm Persian, husband is American. We are expecting our second baby girl. Our first born is named Leila (pronounced Lay la). We'd like to pick a Persian name that is easy to say for Americans and also doesn't sound odd. What do you think of these names? Any other Persian names you recommend? Thanks for your opinion.
Roya
Samira (Sa-mee-rah)
Mitra (pronounced Meet Rah)

Baby Boy #1 born 1/9/17
Baby Boy #2 EDD 11/4/18
And I've heard it before. Mitra is a little harder. I don't like minoo at all
Thank you
I'm American and my husband is Persian. We're having our first baby, a boy. Sorry for the extra question here, but I would love to know what people think of these boy names too!
Darius
Kian
Rostam
elvie718, we just found out that this baby is a girl. But up until last week, we were also thinking of baby boy names. I really like Kian and Nima. We already have two Kians in the family so we couldn't go with Kian but it's my favorite.
Darius is really nice as well. So is Cyrus.
I'd stay away from Rostam if I were you. To me naming my kid is Rostam is like naming him after Hercules. I feel like he'd be made fun of in the Persian community but that's just my thought.
Congrats on your baby boy!
