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

I think its fine
Are you or your DP Greek?

But I do like the name!

I know somebody with a (female) horse called Zephyr so I wouldn't.... the name itself originates from the (male) Greek god of the west wind so not a female name originally....

It sounds cool.

I’ve read a book with a Zephyr in it, but she was female.
I quite like Zeph though.

Go for it.

I've met one! A younger sibling of DDs nursery friend. He must be about 3 now. I thought it was a lovely name, though he was the first I've met.
