I wanted to do a distinct set of character names for the Saird area of the lunar empire, once because it is close to Balazar and thus my campaign.  Two because I think it has a distinct feel and culture.

The suggestion was made of using Persian names, which worked out well on a lunar patrol I created from Saird. So I have curated a list of ancient and modern Persian names.

I have tried to take the most popular and obviously arab names out and give a list which to most western eyes would suit a fantasy setting.
