Personally, I don’t there is anything wrong with choosing foreign or unique names as long as (a) you can pronounce and spell it correctly (b) know the origin and meaning of the name and (c) it’s an actual name and not just some word you made up, which you think sounds Persian/Arabic/whatever it may be. Eccentric? Quite possibly, but I wouldn’t say complexed. In my view, the people who come across as having a complex are those who choose a foreign or unusual name and aren’t even aware of the meaning and simply pride themselves on the fact that “it’s Persian” or “its xyz thing” without even knowing for certain if it really is. To each, his own, I suppose.

Urdu is made up of Persian, Arabic, Hindi. So Persian and even Turkish have many words (even names) that are seen in Urdu.
