It would make sense if we all had the same name.  I noticed the the WP 
article gives the name in Farsi rather than in the language itself.  In 
any event, vowels in Arabic script languages are not always written.  
When giving the English name of something in another language correct 
pronunciation is really a secondary consideration.
