Oops....posted too soon. Zephyr means wind doesn't it, so the natural theme kind of fits.

I don't think ZAP ZIG ZAG etc are completely awful....they don't spell out something bad at least...

I don't want Zephyr running into the MN though,eg Zephyrrex.

Does Zephyr Robin make a smoosh? Or is it just that Rex is one syllable and begins with an R?

It's lovely! I think a long mn would sound pretentious though. How about...

Somebody mentioned Rowan, I like Zephyr but I think I'd go for Rowan Zephyr rather than the other way round.

BoyMeetsWorld · 03/11/2013 15:54

Oh or for wintery / cold ideas...

Zephyr Yas (snow in native American)

Zephyr North

Zephyr Boreas (god of wind)

Zephyr Odin

Zephyr Yule

This is all very well, but how do you say it? Is it like Zeffer, or Zeph-ear, or nothing like that at all?

I like a lot of names on paper but saying it out loud is the test and if you are stumbling over it then so will other people.

It's got to flow.

(just rambling here, I am stumbling but I'm sure you're not!)

It wouldn't be a proper Sunday without one of your baby name threads Frigg Grin
Zephyr Beau

Zephyr Gil
Zephyr Guy
Zephyr Joel
Zephyr Kit

I know James is a "safe" name but Zephyr James does sound good.

SoupDragon · 03/11/2013 16:04

As an aside, the first family car I remember was a Ford Zephyr called Charlie Farnsbarns [happy sigh]

Not that I am recommending Charlie Farnsbarns as middle names :o

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 03/11/2013 16:05

Zef-ur is probably as close to explaining it as I can get....I'm rubbish at phonetic spelling.
