WDYT of this name?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Dd's cat is named Zelda after the game, so I just think of that.

@poodlepoop

From terrahawks? 
My first thought. She'll grow into it by the time she reaches about 118 years old...
ihatesoaps · 27/02/2022 15:46

Prisoner of Zelda! Just no!!!

Zillamop · 27/02/2022 16:37

It sounds like it's short for Griselda which reminds me of gristle and grizzling.

DontBeMean · 27/02/2022 17:00

I think of the Zelda. It's not the worse thing to think of though.

Lurking9to5 · 27/02/2022 17:05

I like Zeldq but not with Rose.

The repetition of zzzzz is q bit much, plus, it's a bit double gypsy in its vibe. Gypsy Rose Lee. Id keep them separate.

Zelda Joy
Zelda Faith
Zelda Lily
Zelda Niamh
Zelda Maeve
Zelda Mary

Those flow better imo

Shakirasma · 27/02/2022 17:06

Make me think of Terrahawks too I'm afraid! Not a connection I would choose!

Assuming Zelda is appropriate for you to use, here's some middle name ideas:

Zelda Gwendolyn
Zelda Tiferet
Zelda Vivian
Zelda Naomi
Zelda Joy
Zelda Celeste
Zelda Marianne

For whom would it be inappropriate?
TheMagpie · 27/02/2022 18:00

@SleepingStandingUp Non-Jewish people. Zelda is a Jewish cultural name.

CharlotteMJL · 27/02/2022 18:00

LOVE LOVE LOVE this name. Zelda is such a fabulous name. Classic, beautiful, with a spunky zing to it.

@MsTSwift

I would assume I would get my palm read
Yeah this
Findingthelight1 · 27/02/2022 18:04

When Zelda goes to school she won't hear the end of ocarinas and the like. Unless you're obsessed with the game,
or want everyone to think you are, I just wouldn't.

Depends if you subscribe to the idea that any one place can own a name, or at what point due to other usage it becomes public property, given the video game and it being a nickname for Griselda for example

TheMagpie · 27/02/2022 18:15

@SleepingStandingUp Names are extremely important in Jewish culture, as well as many other cultures. The game does not make the name less Jewish.

babynamelover · 27/02/2022 18:21

It's cool 😊. I would like it for myself!!

Lurking9to5 · 27/02/2022 18:24

@TheMagpie it sounds like you think non jewish people shouldn't use the name.

TheMagpie · 27/02/2022 18:25

@Lurking9to5 'Sounds like'? I said it quite clearly, yes.

Stevearnottsbeard · 27/02/2022 18:28

Aunt Zelda from Sabrina. Unfortunately it's a no for me

Lurking9to5 · 27/02/2022 18:44

Zelda is a name of German origin though.

Zelig is the yiddish name.
What about Susan and Rachel and Miriam?

SleepingStandingUp · 27/02/2022 19:03

Leah, Abigail, Rachel, Esther (Stella), Ariel, Sarah, Talia, Eve that's just a really quick Google of names. I assume you also object on posts about these names?

LivingDeadGirlUK · 27/02/2022 19:07

I love Zelda but Rose is a dull middle name (apologies to the thousands of 0-3 year olds I've just insulted).

Viviennemary · 27/02/2022 19:09

Not keen on Zelda. Rose is OK.

Bichette · 27/02/2022 19:10

Love Zelda

TracyMosby · 27/02/2022 19:12

Love it
