Zélie, Zadie or Zelda?

[babysharkdoodoodedoodedoo]

Which do you prefer and why?

Zelda I guess, the roaring 20s association is a positive although Zelda Fitzgerald was a bit tragic

Zadie I think would get mistaken for Sadie / be assumed to be after Zadie Smith / is quite nothingy

Zelie just sounds like a kitchen brand name

zara maybe?

Zélie is my favourite (great name!) followed by Zadie and then Zelda

Zélie is lovely, much better than the other two.

i think they all sound a bit west London

Zelda!

Zelda. I quite like Zena too

Zadie is adorable and suitable for a kid or adult. Zelda is great too but very connected with the video game for me. Not that that's a bad thing!
Zelie sounds nice but a bit more wishy washy. I'd not be sure how to pronounce it but I'd guess it was how it looks. It's a sweet name though

So all are good in my opinion. 😄

Zadie is my favourite

I also like
Zoë (but only with the trema/diaeresis)
Zara
Zita

Not keen on Zélie and dislike Zelda.

I quite like all of them with Zélie being my favourite (know a very cool French woman with this name)

drawback for Zadie is that it would be constantly misheard as Sadie. Drawback for Zelda would be the continuing popularity of the Zelda video game series. The tragic life of Zelda Fitzgerald wouldn't bother me.

Zaidie.
It sounds great, is very unusual and the association with Zadie Smith is really cool. Great writer.

Zadie!

Zadie is lovely

Zadie, very cool.

Zelda doesn’t have great association for me (Fitzgerald, games ect).

Zelie is nice as long as you aren’t fussed with people putting the accent on when written. I know a little Azelie which I like.

Not a Z name, but your list made me think of Vita which is one of my faves.

Biased as I have a Zadie!!!

Zadie.

Clearly a generational thing but when I hear Zelda I immediately think of Zelda the witch from the old tv show Terrahawks. It's not a good association!

shame on you and your anti-wrinkly old alien stance.

Out of curiosity.. why Zadie rather than Sadie?

Zelda is my favourite as a video game nerd

Wasn't Zelda the old crone from Terrahawks?

I like Zelie because of Zelie Beach.
I like these Z names in this order ..
Zara
Zena
Zelda
Zelie
Zadie.

Does Zelie rhyme with Kelly? Or with Hayley? I’ve never heard it before.
