There are lots of names I like. But I really do like Daryoush, Leila and Kayhan

I know Leila is an Arabic name but lots or Iranians use it and it is a beautiful name.

Kiyan or Kian same meanning as Shahanshah (king of the kings) sounds powerful.

As far as the name Leila or Layla, I am not sure if originated from Iran or Arab countries assuming that Iranian (persian)kingdom was huge at one point. If some one have a reliable historical backgroung, please don't hesitate to share (wikipedia doesn't count).
