Posted before I'd finished! One of my dd's has a beautiful unique name beginning with z but I want it to stay that way so I'm not sharing

So what was the point in mentioning it?

Was just agreeing with stompylongoose about z names

A bit rubbish at explaining phonetic pronunciation but I think I know how to pronounce those names. Maybe I didn't explain it properly.

With both of them isn't the stress on the second syllable?

Zoya and soya

Me think of the karate chop sound hay! Yah!

Farah, Imani, Aliya, Aleena or Alina, Zahra, Saffiyah, Yasmeen

My own stepbrother of 20+ years still spells it Laylor
