My suggestion is to check with the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) website. -the SCA does historical re-enactment, and as such, people choose names and heraldry based offf of various locations and time periods. (I'm still in the process of making sure the name I want is period)
Seljuk can also be spelled Selçuk, Saljuq, Seldjuk, Seldjuq, or Seljuq. Just thought you might be interested.
Here are some cool names from the Sasanian Persian Empire: Mihryar, Yazdin, Dadgushnap, Pawle, Tahmshabur, Shapur, Yazdgard. BUT they are from a fourth-century source, meaning these guys were Zoroastrians. (And the last two you probably don't want anyway, because they were kings.) I don't know how common old Persian names remained after the Arab Conquest.
This is just a twichy litttle thing that most people probably won't notice but I thought you might find it useful. To be politically correct A.D. has been changed to C.E. and B.C. to B.C.E.
