Just that really. I'm interested in hearing options for both boys and girls.
Thanks.

I know a Zarina.

CPtart · 28/06/2015 19:22

I know a Zeff (male). Is that normal?

Brummiegirl15 · 28/06/2015 19:13

I know a Zanine but if you want mainstream normal, Zoe and Zara

Both of which are on my list

Zaranne isn't bad. Said something like Tsuh-ran.

ClementineAndCordelia · 28/06/2015 15:35

Zadie

Zoella?

Thanks for the responses. I was actually thinking that many girls' names beginning with S could also work with Z, e.g. Zarah, Zandra.

Yes, BikeRunSki, to clarify when I said 'normal' I really should have said mainstream, I didn't mean to offend. I meant that I didn't want to make up a name just so that I could use Z.

And the Z's are making my eyes go funny too. They're making all the names looked made up!

LikeABadSethRogenMovie · 28/06/2015 14:50

My friends dd is Zhea. I think it's a surprisingly pretty name.

Magmatic80 · 28/06/2015 14:49

Anyone else doubting themselves that Z is a real letter? They're making my eyes go funny!

Zelie

GinUpGirl · 28/06/2015 14:05

Zhenya- the one I know uses it as short for Eugenia.

I never noticed what an odd looking letter Z is till reading this thread!

I know a little Zoya.

ToffeeWhirl · 28/06/2015 01:09

I know a boy called Zion.

Quasilulu · 28/06/2015 00:48

I know a gorgeous woman in her 90s called Zayda

LavenderRain · 27/06/2015 20:22

Zeliah

I know a girl called this, I think it's a pretty name,

Canyouforgiveher · 27/06/2015 19:04

I knew a very cool little boy called Zeno. Think it was the name of a Greek philosopher.

PonderousTortoise · 27/06/2015 18:48

I know a little Zella, which I've always thought was lovely.

AccordingToOurRecords · 27/06/2015 18:13

Zosia is lovely and it is Polish. It was my chosen girls name but I had boys. FIL was Polish.

SilentBob · 27/06/2015 18:13

Zaki, Zane/Zayn and Zacharia/h- male, lovely and 'normal'

Zara/Zahra, Zoe (can't do the dots, apologies!) and Zinnia- female, lovely and 'normal'
