I had a dream that my best friend named her baby Zelda and I was SUPER jealous because it suddenly occurred to me that it was the coolest name ever. I loved it so much in the dream that I’m wondering if it might actually be the coolest name ever 😂 thoughts?

Terrahawks was my first thought

You and me both... Maybe showing our age with that reference. 😁

There's a girl at my sons school called Zelda. Unless she needs to be rescued by a Link or is a witch with a niece called Sabrina... it's a ridiculous name.

Love it, will be trying to convince my husband it deserves a place on the list!

It's what Robin Williams named his daughter

I think it's the coolest name ever. But names are such an individual thing. You only have to look at any baby name post to see how people love and hate the same name.

I have also played Zelda games for years, and it's amazing how many people have never heard of the franchise. So I wouldn't say it's too popular because of that.

Love it. Quirky and strong.

DeeCeeCherry · 20/07/2023 06:04

I immediately thought 'Witch'. So, perhaps not..

7Worfs · 20/07/2023 05:48

Nah, too popular from Legends of Zelda.

It also sounds like a type of cabbage, not pretty at all.

Reminds me of the nasty sister in the Stephen King book - was it Gerald's Game? Horrible name.
