Re: Edward or Harold?
Edward. The combo sounds better, and Edward is a better name than Harold ;)As for the spelling, I dunno... I don't really like Zia/Ziya no matter how you spell it, but what makes it difficult for me to decide is that Ziya looks a lot more arabic than Zia (even though they both are) while Zia looks like a girls name (maybe because I know a girl named Sia?).
And to be perfectly honest, I don't think Zia/Ziya sounds that good with your surname either, but in the end it's up to you guys.

Yeah, I know no one likes Ziya / Zia. If I went with Ziya Harold Nocturne (which is one I put together and then decided I really wanted to use Silver), it'd be my most hated combo [they're the lowest rated names on my list]. Not that that really bothers me. Silver doesn't rank too high either.I don't really hear an issue with my surname except for the culture clash. Having similar initial sounds doesn't bother me.

Say Ziya + your surname a bit fast...and it sounds a little bit like sea channel. At least to me. Not a huge deal, though.

I'm not hearing it no matter how many times I say it, might be a difference in accent. But if other people hear it, yeah, no big deal. Nothing wrong with sea channels.

I think Ziya Harold Nocturne is awesome. I definitely think Nocturne follows Harold better than Silver, though Silver sounds better after Edward. I don't really like Zita, but I think you could do much worse :)
