Zelda...

[chloem93]

What's your honest opinion on the name Zelda ?

I'm a gamer but that's not the reason I like the name Zelda. I just like how it sounds so at first I didn't think of the games but I don't know if it would sound silly in the long run to name a child Zelda just because of the video game relation hmm...

Really like the sound of Zelda Rose or Zelda Grace. What do you think?

Do you know a Zelda? Would you find it funny a gamer naming their child Zelda and do you think Zelda sounds ok for an adult name?

I think it’s a really pretty name. I wouldn’t automatically assume that you are gamers because of the name, although I’m not sure if I’ve ever heard it on a real person! 😬

I don’t think it sounds silly, and I can visualise the name working from baby to adult...

It’s no less appealing than Lara, or Mario...it’s a really nice name!

Love it!

Zelda, the Terrahawk immediately springs to mind but I'm a probably a bit older.

Makes me think of one of the aunts from Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Not an awful association I suppose...

I have a friend called Zelda and she's kick-ass! She has a great attitude and is a pocket rocket of energy. She is my age (mid 30s) so probably named before the game took off?? I don't know. We're a multi cultural bunch (I live on a compound in the ME) so very used to hearing all sorts of names.

I love it. I know a Zelda in her 30s and she's lovely. My DS would have been Zelda if he was a girl.

I love the name, my cat is called Zelda because DP vetoed it for a baby.

We’re both fans of the games though, as are his brothers, and he just saw the poor kid being referred to as ‘Princess Zelda’ as a joke which he wasn’t into.

I love it, I liked this for my dd 16 years ago when I was pregnant. People said something to me about the game but I'd never heard of it. My friend's mum is called Zelda and she doesn't get comments about the game as far as I know. I have a feeling names ending in da are going to come back in to fashion soon. A lot of the names are so soft and end in elle, ella, lia. I can imagine Belinda and Rhoda and Zelda soon.

I think it’s lovely! I would automatically think of the game but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda after the game! I don’t know anyone else with the name (though I’m sure there’s many, especially in America) so you’ll have a really lush, original name.

''so you'll have a really lush, *original name''

My mother is called Zelda, she's 60 - my grandparents were definitely not gamers. She had an 'auntie Zelda' who was my grandmothers friend. She doesn't have a MN as my grandmother felt 'Zelda was enough' 😂.

She loves her name and has only ever had positive reactions to it. I think it's a great name too.

TBH I don't like it, it sounds harsh. It also makes me think of Griselda which is like grizzling and gristle. Zelda would suit a rip-off fake fortune teller.

I know a little girl called Zelda, she gets no comments about it being anything other than nice nams

I like Zelda Rose

I assumed it was after Zelda Fitzgerald. I think it’s cool.

Love it.

❤️ Zelda, very pretty.

Zelda

Terrahawks and the bully from Grange Hill (80's kid !)

I would assume you were Jewish , tbh. no offence meant.

Robin Williams' dd is a Zelda after the game.

Im a gamer too to I'd assume the gaming connection. I think it's a lovely name as long as her siblings aren't Link, Mario or some other Nintendo character.

Rose and Grace seem to be the most popular middle names for girls but sounds much more exotic coupled with an unusual name like Zelda.

Yes, immediate reaction is the Terrahawk, then Legend of... I don't think it's that nice-sounding really.

My DP and DS are gamers as is my best friend. All big fans of Legend of Zelda so I’m afraid that is my first link

Love it love it love it. L of Z was my favourite game growing up. Doooooo iiiiiit. I prefer Rose as a middle name btw.

A name is a name, it's just every name will be related to something like a celeb. A character, a game, ect. A friend of a friend called her daughter Leia.
