| "Rasselas" was the name of a persian prince, if I recall correctly.
(It was used as the name of a persian deerhound in a group of espionage
stories by Michael Gilbert)

| I think she'll really like that name -- thanks. How do you pronounce
it correctly (exactly like it is spelled?).

| I don't know if these names are Persian or not, but they are Arabic:
Jamil (pronounced Ja-meal) & Wasim (pronounced Wa-seem)
Both, I believe, mean handsome.

Sorry I haven't replied in so long a time, Elinda...I can only rarely
get thru to this file for some reason.
I've only seen the name in print, I've never heard it pronounced, but
if it follows the pronunciation of other words, then it should come out
"rah-SELL-ahs" [any Farsi speakers around?]
