Whose fault is it that English speakers turned a similar word into something negative? Why, the very people who find this name so humorous! Negar is a truly beautiful, elegant name, and just because it looks like a slur does not mean it should be the target of mocking and abuse. Maybe it's time for some folks to broaden their horizons and stop making juvenile jokes. Respect goes a long way, people!

It is really funny and stupid to confuse the original and historical Iranian name with a rude word! Even with different spelling and pronunciation! In fact, Negar means love and a girl with a beautiful face, which famous Iranian poets such as Hafez, Saadi, Molana, etc. have used this name in many of their poems.

The meaning is so sweet despite the fact that it sounds like a slur. If I was Persian I would name my daughter this.

Sorry Anglophones but just because you f*ed up using a word, doesn't mean everyone else should stop using similar sounding words/names.
What an awful name, Persian or not there are far prettier names like Nadia and Parisa that are of Persian origin.

English speakers need to understand that there are other languages & names in the world. Would this be a good name to use in the western/English world? Probably not, but let's not knock other cultures/languages by saying that they're wrong.
