Only girl’s name that has been received positively, but I don’t love it. I’m trying to make myself think of the glamorous flapper-writer Zelda Fitzgerald, but I just think of a witchy aunt type (was there a Zelda in Sabrina?). I also really like Nintendo games so I wouldn’t want anyone to think I named her after Princess Zelda Hmm

Anything that is a similar vibe?

Zelda has really grown on me. Easy to spell, works internationally, spunky, works on girl and woman. And the associations arent negative.

Poor Zelda Fitzgerald, she did not have a happy end (burnt to death in a mental hospital fire).

I think maybe you are thinking witchy because of Sabrina the Teenage Witch!

I was thinking Clara if I have a daughter, which is also a 1920s flapper style name. Other names along those lines are Marlene (pronounced Marlena), Greta, Gloria, Pearl.

I love the name Zelda. It's short, sassy, easy to spell and pronounce. It's not over used but still works internationally.
