It's absolutely wonderful to see Zuleika on someone else's list! Huzzah!
Roxana, Nasrin, Anahit & Lilac are other favorites for girls. I know an Amir, lovely guy. Casper, Cyrus, Darius, Iskander, Kourush, Masud & Nassar are other favorites for boys. I want to like Xerxes, the sound is wonderful but the association bothers me. Now, if only I had the appropriate ethnic background for them....

OT: Anyone see Persépolis?

Some of these surprise me. Gelsey, Kira, and Lilac are Persian? I didn't know. Can you cite any sources?
In any case, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful. :-) I like the sound (or what I believe is the sound) of all of these:
Amir
Bijan
Darius
Homayoun
Iskander
Kaved
Nadir
Tabor
Tallis
Xerxes

Gelsey

Here are some sources:

Gelsey I know is a type of flower in Farsi.
Kira is definitely the feminine form of Cyrus in Persian.
Lilac is definitely a favorite. I am fairly certain its origin is Persian, but like so many Persian inventions, its true derivation is seldom credited in the Western world.
