Well my real first name is Selda (yes, with an S) which I have hated all my life and so I try not to use it anymore. Not very helpful but just wanted to get that off my chest.

Zelda is a seriously cool name.

For me it's a witches name, for some reason, but years ago I did know a 3 year old called Zelda, and she was geogous.

I think it's the kind of name you have to be able to carry off.

Does anyone else remember Zelda from Grange Hill?

RachieB · 31/10/2008 19:16

quite like Zara but not Zelda !

Liffey · 27/10/2008 13:15

Wow, that's funny! Can you work out who raaah is?!

leatrix · 26/10/2008 21:27

The Alexier that Raahh knows, is actually my twin sister and Marcus is my brother, yes i agree, my parents did cover all bases lol! I hated my name as a kiddie, but actually i adore it now!

pinata · 10/07/2008 19:52

oops - it did get mentioned - sorry read every post now...

pinata · 10/07/2008 19:48

Legend of Zelda is the best series of games ever made by nintendo - i'm surprised no-one has mentioned it.

Love the game - can't decide whether the connection spoils the name or makes it kind of cool...

AnnieLaurie70 · 10/07/2008 18:17

Perhaps Zelda Fitzgerald was a bit off but the name smacks of all things flapper and 1920s to me - which is very cool, imo.

BlueChampagne · 09/07/2008 12:24

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah fan?

Beautiful Zelda from Galaxy 4 ...

TwoFir · 09/07/2008 11:44

zillah

Tatties · 08/07/2008 22:51

Oh TooT really?

I like it. Also made me think of Kelda

hatwoman · 08/07/2008 22:47

another one unable to take it seriously thanks to Nintendo.

TooTicky · 08/07/2008 22:44

Will never let dcs change their names
Seriously, means you have to explain and justify things endlessly. Perhaps I'm over-sensitive, I was persuaded to change my surname when I weas in my teens....regret that too.

zippitippitoes · 08/07/2008 22:42

really toot how weird

i have never heard of anyone doing that

TooTicky · 08/07/2008 22:40

Erm, no.
I expressed a wish to change it when I was 4 or 5. New name wasn't fully my choice. Regret it muchly.

Intriguing. Did you change your name to Sarah when you were 13?

TooTicky · 08/07/2008 22:37

I was a Zelda. Wish I'd kept it.

DrNortherner · 08/07/2008 22:35

Zelda sounds like a german shot putter imo.

I like Zara though. A woman at my work has a daughter called Xaria (pronounced Zaria)

zippitippitoes · 08/07/2008 22:35

i wanted it because of zelda fitzgerald lol

claricebeansmum · 08/07/2008 22:33

Despite being the name of FSF wife it is a rather good name - bit zany - nice to write. All names have associations some way or another - either public or within families etc.
