Yes I think so! Is it pronounced Zy-dan? It's lovely. Smile

mzS1990 · 17/07/2016 17:37

Yes that's how we will pronounce it Smile thank you

Why not just call him Dan or Daniel?

OhNoNotMyBaby · 18/07/2016 13:13

Sounds like an alien from Dr Who... Grin
Sorry if that is offensive - but it is an honest opinion.

I thought zydaan would be pronounced Zid-aan....like The footballer. Yes Danny or Dan would be fine for a nickname, but it's a short name anyway, why use a nickname?

mzS1990 · 18/07/2016 13:43

I've heard it pronounced both ways. I think they sound the same anyway Smile but yea it's like the footballer, just different spelling.

We want an Islamic name and also I don't like daniel really.

Oooooh sorry I thought it was more like Zy (rhymes with eye) Dan. I like either pronunciation. It's much nicer than Daniel lovely.

mzS1990 · 18/07/2016 13:52

Sorry I'll elaborate. Islamic name with a not so islamic nickname

How about Adam?

BendydickCuminsnatch · 18/07/2016 15:51

Really like it! A much more interesting choice than Daniel or Adam.

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 18/07/2016 16:49

I know I suggested Adam but I agree with bendy

SteviebunsBottrittrundle · 18/07/2016 17:34

Sorry, just to clarify the reason I suggested Adam is because it is Islamic but also English (I think). Would have been a pretty random suggestion otherwise!!!

marblestatue · 18/07/2016 20:25

I like it, and Dan/Danny are good as nicknames.

mzS1990 · 18/07/2016 21:00

Thanks everyone. I love love love Adam- was actually debating it with my first born. It just never seemed to be 'right' though it's a beautiful name.

I like it ! You could do Zydane or Zydan spellings to encourage the Danny nickname ?

There is Aden, Ayan, Adnan, Aslan ??
