Parsis over the 1300 years in India began using shorter
Hindu-cised pet names instead of the longer heavier 
Persian or Zoroastrian names coined centuries ago in
Sassanian, Avestan and Paazand languages.

Piloo derives from the austere Feeruz Shah, literally the
Azure King. You may recognize a colloquia Firuza in
Moslem name, and the color firozi, blue. You may be
familiar with a common Parsi name Firoz. All are fruits
of the same seed.

Rutam, patterned after the legeday hero, became in 
Mumbai, Rusi.

Sohrab became Soli, Faramar'z became Fali, Dorab,
to rhyme with Sohrab, became Dara or Dolu or Dadi,
An interesting pollution is Dadabhoy Naorojji, which
originally was Dara Nao-Rooz, the Warrior of the New
Day.

My Homi comes from Hormuz, which the Greeks made
into Orm'az. It makes me God, and also the Keeper of
the First Day of every month, Hormazd Roz.

Kaikobad is really 2 words, Kai being a comon prefix,
you must have heard of Kai Khushruh, Kai Kaus. It means
"The one who will show you your Teacher" which to me
is someone inside you.
