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

All the Zs look weird and not like real letters now! Not used to seeing so many
I really like Zinnia

Mintyy · 27/06/2015 17:59

Zinnia. Beatiful name for a girl. It would have been on my shortlist if I'd had another girl.

Zander, Ziad

I have a colleague whose wife is called Zarqa (Middle Eastern origin I think) - think it's a beautiful name.

YonicScrewdriver · 27/06/2015 17:56

Xanthe, if you just want the sound?

Seriouslyffs · 27/06/2015 17:54

Zuleika is lovely and I know a little Zephaniah nn Zeph.

StormyBrid · 27/06/2015 17:50

I did write an e with two dots above, honest! It's just the app mangled it, same as it does the pound sign: £. It's the one downside to Zoe!

andadietcoke · 27/06/2015 17:49

I think Zosia is the Polish version of Sophie. I know a Sophie of Polish descent who is now known as Zosia.

I love Zara and Zoe

Zebadiah
Zebedee
Zoltan

If you just want the 'Z' sound, rather than the letter 'Z', then there are various 'X' names that might be suitable e.g. Xanthe, Xavier.

Zadie
