Kasra (male)
Opinions on this name? Being Persian, there are not many Persian male names that grab me, but I think this one does have some appeal. You'll all probably all say it sounds girly, but I don't think it does.

A endings don't constitute girly for me. It is a simple name that sounds pleasant. I like it.

Hmm. I like it. It's different without being inaccessible. You didn't ask, but I have to say Kasra has more verve than Ezra. It may end in an A, but it doesn't have a girly feel. Visually, it reminds me of names like Kazimir and Casper, and I assumed it was masculine at first glance.

I like it. It doesn't look or sound girly to me at all. It reminds me of Kasper or Kazimir. :-)

The Lion KingMy first thought was that it could fit in with Simba, Nala, and the Lion King cast of characters. It's not bad though.

There's a Kasra at a school my daughter goes to! I always check out the names on the sign-in list when I drop her off. I don't think it's girly, but I wasn't sure of the gender until I looked it up. I like it! It's ... it's better than Ezra ... doh. Forgive me for that please. But it's true, it has that nice zra sound in it but has the punchy K sound and isn't fusty. And it's not Hebrew - Hebrew-origin names often sound too conservative to me somehow.
