Yeah, around the time when I was born we werent very fond of Iran I guess, and my Dad left Iran around 50 years ago, so the connection was rather weak (by choice). My family has suffered a lot from Iran and its past governments (including this one). I dont blame my parents for not wanting to have anything to do with Iran at the time. Too many losses, sad times.

What about Shervin? How about Joubin? bet nobody heard of that one!

For girls, i have heard of Golbarg and Golpar.

But best of all, I like "Iran" for a girls name. It used to be more common than it is now.
