For Shahzyn please see: Can I name my boy “Shahzayn”. Many Persian or Persian-derived names contain the word Shah, this does not make it a bad word even if it means "sheep" in Arabic.

Aariz means "cloud", and in the verse you mentioned, the cloud was a sign of God's punishment. This does not make the word "cloud" a bad name. For more details on this name please type it in the search box.
