Thoughts for my twins? (Nico pronounced Nee-ko rather than nick-o).

Love Zelda but am biased as I am a huge fan of the games. [Nintendo geek emoticon]

And I quite like Nico...wasn't that the name of Hades' son in the Percy Jackson series?

How about Zulieka

pogleswife · 07/06/2010 19:56

Avada- Zillah is a great suggestion, and goes
perfectly with Nico. ( Not that keen on zelda but not awful)

GladioliBuckets · 07/06/2010 17:20

I like Nico for a boy or a girl (although the famous singer Nico was not much of a role model.)

AvadaKedavra · 07/06/2010 14:50

How about Zillah? Zelda is a Terrahawk.

Nico is fine though

Nico (Nee-co) sounds Hispanic to me -- DD2 had a Nico in her class in the US for a few years who was of Mexican descent.

ZZZenAgain · 07/06/2010 11:42

Russian would be more likely to have Kolya as a nick for Nikolai
Mind you an oligarch... anything is possible.

ZZZenAgain · 07/06/2010 11:37

Nico pronounced Nee-ko sounds Greek to me I meant

ZZZenAgain · 07/06/2010 11:36

it is sounding more Greek to me

meadowlarks · 07/06/2010 11:30

Nico is getting popular, and to be honest is a bit too Russian oligarch for a British child in my opinion. I do like Zelda though, so go for it.

DastardlyandSmugly · 07/06/2010 11:29

I like both.

ZZZenAgain · 07/06/2010 11:19

I'm actually coming round to Nico and Zelda.

ZZZenAgain · 07/06/2010 11:05

Is his nameg oing to be officially Nico or are you calling him some version of Nicolas and shortening it to Nico? Nicholas I like and Nico I find ok as a nickname.

aspiegal · 07/06/2010 10:57

I agree with lidofabiro, Xanthe and Zoe are lovely, not keen on Zelda. Nico is a really good name
Zinnia could also be an alternative, or Zinaida - it's the 'd' in Zelda that I don't like!

lidofabiro · 07/06/2010 10:44

Do you like Zara, Zoe or Xanthe as alternatives to Zelda?

Dislike both.

annasophia · 07/06/2010 10:34

I really like both .

mathanxiety · 07/06/2010 01:23

Love them both.

MagalyZz · 06/06/2010 23:44

I love Zelda. I like NIco but it's not in the same excellent league as Zelda.

What about Zelda and Victor?

Thediaryofanobody · 06/06/2010 22:20

I love Zelda, don't like Nico.

ThatVikRinA22 · 06/06/2010 22:20

zelda is awful. did you never see terrorhawks? (terrible puppet show from 80s with a haggard witch called Zelda - sorry but its all i think whenever i now hear the name)

nico is ok

SirBoobAlot · 06/06/2010 22:17

Don't like either, sorry. How about Xena instead of Zelda?
