Just that really. I'm interested in hearing options for both boys and girls.
Thanks.

Depends on your definition of beautiful. Zoë springs to mind, as I have one.

StormyBrid · 27/06/2015 16:48

Gah, stupid app hates putting two dots above an e.

Lovesyoungdreamers · 27/06/2015 16:48

Zoe, Zara, Zach are all fairly "normal".

Stormy by beautiful I basically mean sounds nice. I realise it's a subjective term but I don't want to make up a name based on my intent to use the letter Z. Do you mean Zoe? As what you've written has come up as 'ZoÃ'

I love Zillah. Zoe is mainstream if that is what you mean by "normal".

If you just want the 'Z' sound, rather than the letter 'Z', then there are various 'X' names that might be suitable e.g. Xanthe, Xavier.

andadietcoke · 27/06/2015 17:49

I think Zosia is the Polish version of Sophie. I know a Sophie of Polish descent who is now known as Zosia.

I love Zara and Zoe

StormyBrid · 27/06/2015 17:50

I did write an e with two dots above, honest! It's just the app mangled it, same as it does the pound sign: £. It's the one downside to Zoe!

Seriouslyffs · 27/06/2015 17:54

Zuleika is lovely and I know a little Zephaniah nn Zeph.
