I'm 23 weeks with ds3 and have a Finlay (Fin) and Isaac (Ike) already and would LOVE the name Dziga (Zig, Ziggy) for number 3.

Have always thought I should give a name that would work as a grown up in a professional job situation or work as a chilled out Cornish surf bum (we live on the beach!)

Problem is dh is nervous about using a name that isn't well known...

Please don't say anything too horrid about the name Dziga coz I'm a big spotty hormonal mess and I might cry!

Cuppa The D is silent, it's a Russian name (it's actually a name that a Russian film director in the 1920's gave himself, Dziga Vertov, which roughly translates as spinning top - which if this kid is anything like my 2 ds it'll be quite fitting!)

And I totally agree with you on it looking nice written down - got a bit of a thing about how names look as well as sound. I'm a bit arty farty me

Not for me, sorry.

Nothing wrong with unusual imo.

I'm not sure how to pronounce Dziga though - is the D silent? I like the way the letter combination looks, especially if you write z with a tail.

I'd stick to calling him the full version though - Dziga isn't a long name, and Ziggy reminds me of that smarmy twat on Big Brother a few years ago.

I think Dziga is great - and Zig/Ziggy a gorgeous nickname. Unusual but still easy to pronounce and spell. And Fin, Ike and Zig sound lovely together .
