I came up with the name zeola or zaola from the name zola.
Opinions please!
Zeola pronunced zee-oh-lah
Zaola pronounced zay-oh-lah
Maybe with an h on the end so zeolah

What do you think?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Your other thread says you want a name with a good nickname? Not sure what the nickname would be other than Zo.

Zeola is my favourite. If you google it there is information on it's use as a name. So it's not "made up". Just not very commonly used.

Sorry OP they make me think of cleaning products. I'd be thinking again.

mammmamia · 20/03/2021 11:03

Zola, Zoe and Zorah are all much nicer sorry.

WhattheCBGeebie · 20/03/2021 11:00

Neither, sorry

JackieweaverhasALLtheauthority · 20/03/2021 10:58

Bloody awful

This is a human being you're naming! Zaola??? Ffs!

therocinante · 20/03/2021 10:56

I'd just go with Zola.

Fradishes · 20/03/2021 10:55

Marvin Gaye’s sister is called Zeola.

Mygardenisnotperfect · 20/03/2021 10:55

Came on here to say I’d never come across it before but as you’ve made it up that makes sense 😂

Mygardenisnotperfect · 20/03/2021 10:54

Zaola! Love this! What a beautiful name.

SoupDragon · 20/03/2021 10:52

Zola.

It looks far nicer than the ones you've made up plus it's easier to spell and easier to pronounce.

TenThousandSpoons · 20/03/2021 10:52

No.

Fradishes · 20/03/2021 10:51

I like Zeola - esp if the accent on the first syllable ie ZEE-oh-la. But I like Ze-OH-la too.

celestebellman · 20/03/2021 10:51

Don’t like the made up names and agree with the areola comment. Also reminds me a bit of Zoella.

Zola is nice, also Zora and Zoe

AuntieStella · 20/03/2021 10:49

In this order, and with these spellings:

Zola
Zayola
Zeölah or Zeolah

littlemisslozza · 20/03/2021 10:48

How about Zoe?
Sorry, I don't particularly like either of those.

Spottybluepyjamas · 20/03/2021 10:47

Zola

Watchingthetelly · 20/03/2021 10:46

Second vote for sticking with Zola. The other two make me think of areola.

4amWitchingHour · 20/03/2021 10:44

Put your hard hat on OP, Mumsnet doesn't like made up names.

Of the two I prefer Zaola, but your kid will always have to repeat their name and spell it for everyone. I have an unusual name, and it really is a pain in the arse. Do you want that for your child? Would you like to be called Zaola?

oneglassandpuzzled · 20/03/2021 10:42

Zola
