Zelda

[babysharkdoodoodedoodedoo]

I had a dream that my best friend named her baby Zelda and I was SUPER jealous because it suddenly occurred to me that it was the coolest name ever. I loved it so much in the dream that I’m wondering if it might actually be the coolest name ever 😂 thoughts?

Aunt Zelda from Sabrina vibes, also Legend of Zelda video game. Neither are bad characters though so I wouldn't say it's a negative association

I also think of the game first then Zelda the witch. But Zelda was awesome so I'm not sure why that'd be a negative connotation as pp seem to be suggesting.

I like it.

It is a bit of a cat name though. My friend has three cats, Hilda, Zelda and Salem 😁

My daughter plays the Zelda games. It seems to me Link does all the grunt work while Zelda just stands around dishing out magical knowledge and looking pretty.

I like the name but it's been ruined by popular culture.

I like it and don’t see Nintendo and witches as negative associations

A big like from me.

I like it and it doesn't have associations for me (too old for all the references).

I also love Zuleika but DH vetoed it getting onto our list. I had brief, possibly hormone-fuelled, images of a cute little Zuley.

Awful name.

For some reason the odd fact that’s lodged in my brain about Zelda (when more important bits of knowledge have long fled) and so is the first thing I think of when I hear it is that it was Maureen Lipman’s mother’s name. Don’t ask me why I remember that!

I love it. Unusual without being weird.

To be fair it was a horrible book. Euww.

Zelda reminds me of that American girl in Mallory Towers. Oh, wait, think that might have been Zerelda?

It's my name! I love it, and people always remember it. Do get a lot of references to the game mainly from younger people.

Yes Zerelda Brass, she was awful! 😂
