It means 'happy' in Yiddish. It's pretty, I think.

But your first thought would be...?

Legend of....
Or mentally unstable doyenne of jazz age....

ButtMuncher · 26/09/2017 19:33

Legend of....doesn't mean I don't like it - I love the name, just wouldn't be brave enough to pick it without everyone KNOWING it's because I love the game Grin

My friend has a dog called Zelda 😀

PotteringAlong · 26/09/2017 19:34

I think of my friends sister!

Eolian · 26/09/2017 19:34

Warrior princess was Xena not Zelda! Not keen either though, sorry.

Sabrina the teenage witch

Fantspants · 26/09/2017 19:36

Sabrina the teenage witch, and the video game

However neither of those things would deter me

Game.

Lovely!

Years ago I worked in an office with a Zelda. She used to boil eggs in the kettle, and sleep behind the filling cabinets! Not a name I'd choose!

phoenix1973 · 26/09/2017 19:48

Terrahawks sorry

NoSquirrels · 26/09/2017 19:50

Zelda Fitzgerald for me too. I also worked with a lovely Zelda, so that overlays any association of mental unstableness as she was great.

She used to boil eggs in the kettle, and sleep behind the filling cabinets!

She did what now? I don't know which is stranger; the eggs probably.

AhNowTed · 26/09/2017 21:19

Love it!!

Nicest one on here for ages

Legend of/Sabrina's aunt.

I don't mind Zelda, but wouldn't go for it on that basis - and it sounds very witchy to me.

Smoliver · 26/09/2017 21:42

If I met someone named Zelda, I would think they were a cool person

nodogsinthebedroom · 26/09/2017 21:46

I think it's nice enough. Makes me think of a witch (but a good, fun witch who is also young and pretty iyswim).

Have you considered Kelda?

nodogsinthebedroom · 26/09/2017 21:47

Just scrolled up and saw Sabrina comments - I hadn't realised that's where I got the idea from but it must be Blush

CaoNiMartacus · 26/09/2017 21:53

I love it! There's something magical about it.

Sophronia · 26/09/2017 23:35

I like it, but prefer Zella.

pipilangstrumpf · 27/09/2017 09:30

I really like it!
