Zerelda

[Curlycurlygirly]

Any thoughts on Zerelda as a Babyname for a girl?

Interesting, I'm not sure if it sounds nice or not to be honest. Is it a family name or an original one?

It has a witchy vibe.

This would be the pronounciation

It sounds like you're trying too hard to be original.

Wasn't she an Enid Blyton character? One of the school stories?

It's OK as a word, but I find it a bit whimsical and overblown as a name.

I’ve known Zeldas and Esmereldas, but names I like, but Zerelda sounds off to me-I think it’s the rhythm, like it has a syllable missing

Both not but

Zerelda Brass - an American girl who shocked everyone with her makeup, hair style and bad acting. That's the only Zerelda I have ever come across.

I don't like it, it sounds like you've tried to put two names together and come up with that.

Malory Towers! Brash & American and everything was "wunnerful" and Alison had a crush on her

I immediately got witchy vibes too.
I could get over that if I liked the name but I really don't. Sorry

It has to be a grownupname too!

I prefer zelda

Sabrina the teenage Witch has an Aunt Zelda which is probably why people get witchy vibes.

It looks like you’ve squished two names together in an attempt to get a name that is yooneeq and spesh.

Sounds like a character in an 80s sci-fi

I looked it up and see there have been a couple of famous Zereldas dating back to the 1800s. I was surprised as it sounds very modern to me. I'm not overly keen on it to be honest.

They'd just get called Zelda.

In my kids class there is a kid called "Gleb"...made up names are silly IMO

Nope

First thought...
Mallory Towers fan?

It's not a made up name, just for the record.

Yep, Malory Towers!!!

Not for me. Sounds like a pharmaceutical product.
