Shems and Sosie?
Just wondering if anyone has information on either name.Shems is male and I have heard it's Arabic, meaning Sun.Sosie (or Sosi) is female, and I believe it's Kevin Bacon's daughters name. This was the name of a young girl I met, and I can't find any information on it.Thankyou in advance :)

The Arabic word for sun is indeed shams/shems, but I don't know whether it's used a a name.

Shams Pahlavi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shams_Pahlavi) was an Iranian princess, eldest sister of the last Iranian Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It's not unheard of for Iranians to use names derived from Arabic.(Another example of Iranian-from-Arabic naming is Fawzieh Jahanbani (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahnaz_Pahlavi), daughter of the former Iranian princess Shahnaz Pahlavi, and thus the granddaughter of Mohammad Reza and his first wife Princess Fawzia (Fawziyya) of Egypt.)
