Names starting with Z

92 replies

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.

Zelie (or Zélie as it’s a French name) for a girl. Pronounced like ‘elie’ in ‘Amelie’.

GoshHashana · 30/07/2020 22:03

That has to be the tackiest naming scheme I have ever heard.

@mathanxiety

Yes!

I actually had to google the name Zoe because it didn't look right!

For boys:

Zoltan
Zorro
Balonz (the z is at the end because they should really stop there...)

So many fab suggestions. My personal favourites are Zuki and Zeb. I'll email all the suggested names to them.

Zita

Zion

Anyone else finding that the letter Z looks really peculiar after seeing so many of them?

finallychangedmyusername · 30/07/2020 19:36

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

Hmmm... there's not many options left!

I personally wouldn't use Zion.

Zinnia is too close to Zinnie
Zechariah is too close to Zac
Zorah, Zahara, Zarina and Zaria are all too close to Zara
Zia is too close to Zoe
Zeke is too close to Zac

Zilpah?
Zuri?
Zelda?
Zipporah?
Zofia?
Zdenka?
Zilla?
Zuzanna?
Zosia?

Zainab?
Zev?
Zahir?
Zeus?
Zephyr?
Zebulon?

I'd go with Zilla and Zev. Smile

@Lelophants

Zion! 👍🏻 Lauryn Hill's son is a Zion

ILoveStickers · 30/07/2020 18:51

They have really taken the obvious ones!

Zadok?
Zeno?
Zephyr?
Zuriel?

Zelie (a real french name - a saint I think)
Zita (an Italian Saint)
Zainab?
Zandra?
Zanna?
Zabel?
Zenia?
Zia?
