Names starting with Z

Asking on behalf of my sister. Her name is Zara and her husband is Zac. They had twin girls and thought it would be fun to name them Z names too, so they chose Zoe and Zadie. Then a boy came along who they named Zane. They were done having kids, got 2 dogs and named them Ziggy and Zinnie.

Now they are expecting another baby and are stuck for another Z name. They said they wish they'd not started the Z theme !

Zander and Zavier are unusable use to there being an Alexander on our side and a Xavier on my brother in laws side.

Can you suggest some Z names please. Sex is unknown.

Zell or Zelda

Jesusweptagain · 01/08/2020 18:33

I looked after a little girl called Zofia - pronounced Zof-ya rather than like Sophia. She was so beautiful & it really suits her! Or theres Zuri , Zavierra, Zuzi.

For boys what about

Zeus
Zavier

nutellatoast · 01/08/2020 18:32

I like Zander for a boy and Zinnia or Zizi for a girl.

Zoolander

SleepingStandingUp · 01/08/2020 17:07

Zara, Zac, Zoe, Zadie, Zane and...(Ziggy and Zinnie the dogs)

I'd go Zeke for a boy and Zanthe for a girl

@LizzieMacQueen

So basically any name starting with S and just sub in the Z

(I'm not sure this is a real thread is it?)

Boys:
Zimon
Zebastian
Zandy
Doesn't work quite as well with St but you could try
Ztan
Ztephen
Ztefan

Girls:
Zandi
Zophie
Zamantha
Zimone
Zindy

Its definitely a real thread! Either that or the two 5 year old girls I'm currently looking at are imaginary and they are making far too much noise for imaginary children 😮😃

AdaColeman · 01/08/2020 16:40

Well! Total fail there, and it looked just like a sword stroke Z too! Huh!

AdaColeman · 01/08/2020 16:38

Has anyone mentioned Zorro?

Annierose293 · 01/08/2020 14:27

i like Zorina and Zuleika.

@FlossieTeacakesFurCoat18

If they like the names that are already in the family, why not use them?
Amen!

My view is that you can name your child whatever you want. Don't feel "bad" if there is another child in the family with that name

Unless of course you dont want your DC to share a name with a relative... but if you love the name, go with it!

Katerinakaterinaki · 31/07/2020 20:41

For a girl
Zafira / Zafeira

I teach a girl called Zena (pronounced Zeena)

The poster above mentioned Zenobia, which seems analogous to the greek girl's name :

Zinovia zi-no-vee-a (Ζηνοβία)

For a boy
Zacharias /Zachariah

TankGirl97 · 31/07/2020 19:20

I went to school with a girl called Zenobia. I always thought it was a beautiful name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 31/07/2020 19:17

Oh that's so cute. They sound like the Zebra family from Peppa pigGrin
For a boy
Zorro.
Zachary
Zilo.

Zofia.
Zyla.
Zaya.
Zia.
Zorelda.
Zorena.
Zsa Zsa
