It's Zephyr

I know it's a bit marmite but I don't care.
We Love it.
It's a 'real' name,it works with sibling names,gives cool nn's Zeph or Zephy...fits all our criteria Grin

So,Middle names for Zephyr please!

I think you need to go for an unusual middle name. The 'normal' names just look like you weren't confident using a 'different' name. I think Caspian & Fox are both quite good.

The only zephyr I know is 40. He has it pronounced zef-fire, not zef-ur. Might be something to consider as I would automatically pronounce it the same way also

Love it! I love that you love it so much too given your previous threads!

Zephyr Gene
Zephyr Tate
Zephyr Cole
Zephyr Jack
Zephyr Kirk

Personal favourite is Zephyr Gene. Sufficiently different to the G in your surname.

Hahahaha SoupDragon - an actual animal!

Has anyone else got a red hot chili peppers song in their heads? "fly away on my zephyr, I feel it more than ever. And in this perfect weather, we'll find a place together...."

BlackholesAndRevelations · 03/11/2013 20:44

Stupid DP doesn't like any of the middles I like....and has started suggesting terrible choices of his own!

Gah.

S'not fair

SoupDragon · 03/11/2013 22:59

Spill his terrible choices :)

kaatieexox · 03/11/2013 23:05

I love it! I'm struggling for a middle name, we are keen on Alexander but that's about it. I like Xavier but that might be a lil to crazy! Good luck Smile

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 03/11/2013 23:07

He says Zephyr Otis and Zephyr Kit are "okay" but he's not sure they flow well Hmm

Sod him.

I'm just going to not ask him again and then announce the full name at birth.

soontobeslendergirl · 03/11/2013 23:15

Raven and Rainbow are girls names Confused

BillyBanter · 03/11/2013 23:18

Zephyr Idris (as eye dris not ihdris) flows well. Angry

tell him he's on the list.

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 03/11/2013 23:19

Yes.
I know this,you know this,he does not.

This is why he is not allowed to choose names,only to veto or approve ones selected by me Wink

Seriously,there have been worse.

OP posts:
BillyBanter · 03/11/2013 23:21

Zephyr Ichabod!

Zephyr Crane.

SoupDragon · 03/11/2013 23:24

Do not allow him to name this child :o

Idris must be with a short i sound like the dragon from Ivor the Engine :)

TheWomanTheyCallJayne · 03/11/2013 23:25

I like James too

I think you need
short
Fairly common
And possibly Greek (zephyr is Greek isn't it?)

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 03/11/2013 23:27

Grin dont you worry Soupy I would never allow that to happen.

hoobypickypicky · 03/11/2013 23:28

Zephyr Noel?

UpTheFRIGGinDuff · 03/11/2013 23:28

I've always said Idris "Ihd-ris" is that wrong?

I've not seen Ivor the Engine...

Zephyr Blue? Bit of a wintery feel to it
