I love the name but i am worried it will not be very well socially received. Have you ever met one?

It’s a strong no from me.

I LOVE Zeph. I'm pretty traditional with names but really like Zephyr.

HappyDinosaur · 21/11/2019 16:46

As others have said, I think the bullying aspect is just too much.

Zephyr was God of the West Wind.

A Zephyr is a little breeze. Not really appropriate for a boy! Storm maybe? Hurricane? (Hurricane Smith). Typhoon? (Ty for short).

Zephaniah might be less ' out there'

The only Zephyr I know is the monkey in the Babar the Elephant books.

EleanorShellstrop100 · 21/11/2019 16:08

I LOVE it! I actually love it so much I’m stealing it for my future lists. And you don’t have to be Greek to use the name of a Greek god Hmm

daisypond · 21/11/2019 16:01

It’s OK, yes. Not my style but fine.

Peachbubble · 21/11/2019 15:49

I like it too

PsychosonicCindy · 21/11/2019 14:18

CravingCheese · 21/11/2019 14:15

Love it.

BercowsFestiveFlamingo · 21/11/2019 13:42

My dad had a Ford Zephyr car back in the day.

Slappadabass · 21/11/2019 12:22

Love it. Reminds me of red hot chili peppers!

Omashu · 21/11/2019 12:16

Ugh I meant love it

Omashu · 21/11/2019 12:16

I know a Zephyr, live it 🙂

The name Zephyr would cause juvenile sniggering in my family. As children we were banned from shouting out "fart alert" so in stead used to shout out "zephyr" as we found a dictionary definition of it as "a warm wind from the south".

Zephyros is a slightly more used Greek name (not common though!)
