Which name do you prefer for a boy, Zeeshan/Zishan or Shaan?

I have heard there is a welsh name Sian pronounced as Shaan, so that might be a bit of a problem because we’re in the uk.

Zeeshan.

Yeah I have heard the name Sian around too so it might be a bit odd

*almost similar in meaning...shaan = honour; zishaan = hourable [zee = in/with]...zeshan is a better name, at least to me :) it will also be dependent on what name would go after as a surname :)

Re: Zeeshan or Shaan?

hmm imo Zeeshan is good, more practical

Re: Zeeshan or Shaan?

In urdu, the name zeshan/zeeshan/zeshaan is pronounced ze-shaan, as in the 'ze' in ze-bra. In english it is pronounced 'zee-shaan', as in the 'zee' in 'zee-tv'

Because of this, i suggest go for the comprimise of 'Zeshan'

Zeshan can also be called Shaan but not vice versa..

Zeeshan..

Re: Zeeshan or Shaan?

yeah I'm not sure anymore, Shaan is sounding more unique as Zeeshan is older and more commen..
