Names starting with Z

Asking on behalf of my sister. Her name is Zara and her husband is Zac. They had twin girls and thought it would be fun to name them Z names too, so they chose Zoe and Zadie. Then a boy came along who they named Zane. They were done having kids, got 2 dogs and named them Ziggy and Zinnie.

Now they are expecting another baby and are stuck for another Z name. They said they wish they'd not started the Z theme !

Zander and Zavier are unusable use to there being an Alexander on our side and a Xavier on my brother in laws side.

Can you suggest some Z names please. Sex is unknown.

They have really taken the obvious ones!

Zadok?
Zeno?
Zephyr?
Zuriel?

Zelie (a real french name - a saint I think)
Zita (an Italian Saint)
Zainab?
Zandra?
Zanna?
Zabel?
Zenia?
Zia?

@Lelophants

Zion! 👍🏻 Lauryn Hill's son is a Zion

finallychangedmyusername · 30/07/2020 19:36

Zara, Zac, Zoe, Zadie, Zane and...
(Ziggy and Zinnie the dogs)

Hmmm... there's not many options left!

I personally wouldn't use Zion.

Zinnia is too close to Zinnie
Zechariah is too close to Zac
Zorah, Zahara, Zarina and Zaria are all too close to Zara
Zia is too close to Zoe
Zeke is too close to Zac

Zilpah?
Zuri?
Zelda?
Zipporah?
Zofia?
Zdenka?
Zilla?
Zuzanna?
Zosia?

Zainab?
Zev?
Zahir?
Zeus?
Zephyr?
Zebulon?

I'd go with Zilla and Zev. Smile

Zita

Zion

Anyone else finding that the letter Z looks really peculiar after seeing so many of them?

CrockyBetter · 30/07/2020 20:39

So many fab suggestions. My personal favourites are Zuki and Zeb. I'll email all the suggested names to them.

For boys:

Zoltan
Zorro
Balonz (the z is at the end because they should really stop there...)

sibbys · 30/07/2020 21:48

@mathanxiety

Yes!

I actually had to google the name Zoe because it didn't look right!

GoshHashana · 30/07/2020 22:03

That has to be the tackiest naming scheme I have ever heard.

CrumpetsAndPuzzles · 30/07/2020 22:07

Zelie (or Zélie as it’s a French name) for a girl. Pronounced like ‘elie’ in ‘Amelie’.

MamaLion1319 · 30/07/2020 22:09

Zion was on my list. Don't think it's been mentioned Grin

MamaLion1319 · 30/07/2020 22:10

Oh it has been mentioned Grin

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 30/07/2020 23:26

Zoya (of course Wink)
Zuzana / Zuzanna
Zelda
Zosia

floralf · 30/07/2020 23:39

Zaria? I have a friend with a baby named this recently and really liked it!

ZoyaTheDestroyer · 31/07/2020 08:20

Zohreh is a beautiful Persian name.

BlueChampagne · 31/07/2020 10:41

Zadok

JammyDodgersandPeas · 31/07/2020 10:44

I taught a lovely French girl called Zelie once.

samandpoppysmummy · 31/07/2020 10:51

My friend has a daughter called Zélie which is very pretty.
