Pronounced "z-oh-la"
I know nobody else is likely to be called thIs in her class.

Just wondered what others thought of it?

I immediately think of Gianfranco Zola the football player, I'd assume you were a fan Grin

Without thinking of him it is actually a lovely sounding name Smile

Massive Chelsea fans? Would be my first thought;

Barefoot runners tripping people up and the Dreyfus Affair.

Very pretty, like Nola. Plus, might lead to an interest in reading Emile Zola's books.

The pronunciation... do you mean "zo - la" two syllables, or do you mean a sort of separated "z" as you've written it which would be three syllables?

If "zo - la" then I think it's fine, although my immediate thought was Zola Budd. I don't think that's a bad association though.
