Yeah, not going to lie, fan of the game. DH is too Grin

I love it! I think it's pretty. It is the only name we've been able to agree on. Out of thousands.

Is it ridiculous? I'm worrying about the reactions we'll have Blush

You're worrying with good reason, it's a fairly ridiculous name for a real life human baby.

Sorry.

How about Sonic?

HOWEVER I think the answers you get will depend on the age of respondents Wink

I'm so old that my first thought was Terrahawks.

Like it, the name has been around for alot longer than the game.

Yeah I'm anticipating lots of 'what, you didn't like Pikachu then?' comments! That's what's making me hesitate somewhat.

Lovely name.
If that's what you both agree on then go with it.

Many, many years ago I worked with a Zelda. She was a dreadful woman, used to sleep on her desk, boil eggs in the tea kettle, and was bone idle, so sorry - it's not a name I would consider!

I like it. It's a real name. It's Yiddish I think and has been common in the past but not so much in the past ~100 years!

If you like it, go for it.

Me and dh had our biggest ever argument over the name zelda, I'm still gutted that he won and dc5 has a boring name in comparison.
Go for it.

Well, Zelda in Grange Hill wasn't very nice, but I knew an absolutely beutiful and sweet child called Zelda once, so now I like it. It's nothing like Sonic to me.

I do like it. But I would think of the game every time I heard it or spoke to her.

I love Zelda. She was the aunt in Sabrina the teenage witch.

Go for it, but only if you call your son Salem

WellErrr · 10/08/2016 19:41

Ooh I just remembered Sabrina the Teenage Witch! Didn't she have an Aunt Zelda??

How about Princess Toadstool? Or Zena Warrior Princess? Grin

Sorry OP. I don't actually dislike the name, I'm just an 80s child!
