It means 'happy' in Yiddish. It's pretty, I think.

But your first thought would be...?

I really like it!

Sophronia · 26/09/2017 23:35

I like it, but prefer Zella.

CaoNiMartacus · 26/09/2017 21:53

I love it! There's something magical about it.

Just scrolled up and saw Sabrina comments - I hadn't realised that's where I got the idea from but it must be Blush

I think it's nice enough. Makes me think of a witch (but a good, fun witch who is also young and pretty iyswim).

Have you considered Kelda?

Smoliver · 26/09/2017 21:42

If I met someone named Zelda, I would think they were a cool person

Liadain · 26/09/2017 21:21

Legend of/Sabrina's aunt.

I don't mind Zelda, but wouldn't go for it on that basis - and it sounds very witchy to me.

AhNowTed · 26/09/2017 21:19

Love it!!

Nicest one on here for ages

She used to boil eggs in the kettle, and sleep behind the filling cabinets!

She did what now? I don't know which is stranger; the eggs probably.

Zelda Fitzgerald for me too. I also worked with a lovely Zelda, so that overlays any association of mental unstableness as she was great.

Terrahawks sorry

Wornoutbear · 26/09/2017 19:46

Years ago I worked in an office with a Zelda. She used to boil eggs in the kettle, and sleep behind the filling cabinets! Not a name I'd choose!

FindTheLightSwitchDarren · 26/09/2017 19:43

Lovely!

buttercup54321 · 26/09/2017 19:39

Game.

Fantspants · 26/09/2017 19:36

Sabrina the teenage witch, and the video game

However neither of those things would deter me

MyNeighbourSnorlax · 26/09/2017 19:35

Sabrina the teenage witch

Eolian · 26/09/2017 19:34

Warrior princess was Xena not Zelda! Not keen either though, sorry.

PotteringAlong · 26/09/2017 19:34

I think of my friends sister!

IncidentalAnarchist · 26/09/2017 19:33

My friend has a dog called Zelda 😀

ButtMuncher · 26/09/2017 19:33

Legend of....doesn't mean I don't like it - I love the name, just wouldn't be brave enough to pick it without everyone KNOWING it's because I love the game Grin

Dontlaugh · 26/09/2017 19:27

Legend of....
Or mentally unstable doyenne of jazz age....

Chocolatear · 26/09/2017 19:15

strawberrypenguin · 26/09/2017 19:10

I’d think game but I think it’s a lovely name
