Never heard this name before but apparently one of Harry and Meghan’s flower girls is called Zalie.

What do you think about this name?

I tend to like traditional names but think this is very pretty!

Zalie the Bridesmaid has a twin called India. Her mum is a Zoe and her Aunt is Susanna.

Just for context!

May be related or a variation of the Saint name Zelie...

Sophronia · 16/05/2018 16:12

I prefer Zelie

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 16/05/2018 16:52

Prefer Zadie.

NewSense · 16/05/2018 16:55

I know a lovely Zelie. Not heard Zalie before. I think I prefer Zelie.

How is it pronounced? Looks nice

ZebraKid71 · 16/05/2018 17:08

Is it Zah-lee or Zay-lee? Either way, I actually really like it!

ILikeMyChickenFried · 16/05/2018 17:11

Rhyming with Hayley or Sally?

LoveInTokyo · 16/05/2018 17:12

I would assume it was pronounced like Hayley only with a Z.

That’s how I would say it.

Never heard it before but it's nice! Though seeing Zelie, I prefer that.

It also makes me think of Zazie (dans le Métro)

LiquoriceWheel · 16/05/2018 17:30

Haven't seen this name before. It's very pretty as are all the variations mentioned upthread :)

mimibunz · 16/05/2018 17:32

I don’t like it at all. Seems made up.

SLR1906 · 16/05/2018 18:18

A friends little sister is called Zaylee and i think its beautiful Smile

LoveInTokyo · 16/05/2018 21:49

I agree it sounds made up, which is why I’m surprised how much I like it. I just think it sounds really cool and pretty.

Could be short for Azalea.

Would be a fantastic nickname for Azalea! Good thinking OP.

RedDwarves · 17/05/2018 07:16

I know a Zalie. She pronounces it zah-lee, not zay-lee.

Not a fan either way.

I've heard worse
