Re: Favorite Persian / Arabic names!
Alya.Zainab, Zayna, Nor, and Khadija are pretty as well. My great great grandfather have a Arabic name, Bashir Ageeb and that is one of the most interesting names of someone having, especially because he was a Christian."Life is not an easy matter... You cannot live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you a great idea which raises you above persona l misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness." - Leon Trotsky

Bashir is an interesting name. Was your great-great-grandfather Eastern Orthodox? Several Middle Eastern countries were Christian prior to the Muslim conquests, as places like the Hagia Sophia attest, and there are still minority religious groups throughout the Middle East.
