Zayda

After scouring list after list of names and OH and I thrashing out likes and dislikes we came across the name Zayda. Not sure we can use Angelica with it but we think it sounds lovely has a nice meaning and doesn't sound too sing-songy with our DD Nancy. Too far out for a typically British surname? I tentatively really really like it.

Nancy and Zayda Angelica.
I ❤️ It Bunty. 😄

I really don't think it fits with Nancy but if that doesn't bother you then it's nice enough. I think I prefer it spelt Zaida though

Ummm...

Smacks of trying too hard tbh and frankly, however you pronounce it it's not attractive because it's "hard" sounding in the "za" and "da".

Reminds me a bit (a lot) of Lord Vader.

But hey, if you want to embrace the dark side and have a child nicknamed "Sith" then crack on.

Zara as an alternative?

If you lose your nerve then Nancy and Zelda make a nice (flapper era) pairing.

What does it mean? I think it's nice and different :)

Zay-der? Or Zy-E-der?

If you love it then go for it! Personally I don't like it. Sorry!!
