Zerelda

Any thoughts on Zerelda as a Babyname for a girl?

It doesn't sound like a film star unless you live in 1934.

It's likely to invite bullying. My friend almost called her daughter Zelda. Someone asked if she was joking. Both names remind me of the Nintendo character.

I do think it's pretty though

Characteristics of victims of bullying are not invitations to bully.

Bullies bully because there is something wrong with them, not their victims.

I thought Zerelda Brass, too. Wunnerful!

I also thought of Zerelda Brass! She was great!

You can't ensure your kid never runs into bullies. There's always going to be some around. But jesus, don't serve your kid up on a platter by giving them a stupid name!

I much prefer Zelda.

It sounds like a Super Mario character. Or is that Zelda?

The name Zerelda is great. I like many who have commented first came across it from Mallory Towers. Go for it.

I think it'd be a really cool name for a grown woman, but a bit odd for a baby. Better that than the other way around, though! It is quirky and maybe sounds a touch pretentious, but recently I started thinking that doesn't matter much. People "become" their names and then no one thinks anything of it. Also, while it's unusual the spelling is very logical so she won't have to spell it out all the time.
