Thoughts on Zenith as a gender neutral baby name suggestion

[Clorose]

• Zenith •

I named my boy it earlier this year, it’s a gender neutral name meaning the highest point in the sky.
Just posting this as a name suggestion to others who may not of heard of it before.

I’d have gone with Zenith and Nadir.

Suggestion for sibling name: Maverick, nn Mav.
Or Ace. I have actually met two (boy) children called Ace. One in a v middle class Hampshire town, and the other in the hillbilly south of NZ.

it sounds like a photocopier to me but if you like it .

Zenith and Nadir

I hope his middle name is 3000.

What is a "gender neutral" name?

You will have a little boy or a little girl. Some people need to go on parenting classes.

Anyone suggested balonz or jimberley yet as an alternative?

Screams boy name to me, not gender neutral.

I guess equinox or halcyon kind of go on the same bracket

Makes me remember with affection our old, first computer back in the late 90s, a Zenith (Windows or Microsoft?) PC. Ahh, fun times. Lemmings on Floppy disc on the Zenith.

Terrible name though for a small human person. Sorry.

I opened the thread hoping to see IT Crowd references and was not disappointed!

I think its a bit of a naff attempt to be woke and younique, but its not the worst I suppose. But yes, I would assume boy, not at all gender neutral.

And if I was going for that I would spell it Xenith to go all in!

That was frank zappa! Moonunit and Dweezil were the eldest!

Zowie Bowie changed his name to Duncan.

HAHAHAHA

There are plenty of other gender neutral names that have the advantage of actually being names. Leslie, for example.

Smoke him a kipper, he'll be back for breakfast

(Red Dwarf, Ace Rimmer!)

Agreed

Op why were you keen on a gender neutral name?

It's the name of a faction of bad guys in a very popular video game (more than 40 million copies sold) and it's what I instantly first thought of.

And it’s a chicken shop in my area 🍗

It’s the zenith of “interesting “ names alright.

Staying with the heavenly theme, you could call your next child Apogee. The next could then be named Perigee, and I think you should also seriously consider Albedo.

I neither like or dislike it, much like other new world names. But I would disagree that it is gender neutral, it’s a female name. Immediately thought of Xena (same pronunciation as Zen) and she is a warrior princess. Zenith to me is a strong name for a girl 👧

Oops! I wonder how the OP didn’t realise the women warrior connection. Bit awkward actually. Maybe a wind up

I would’ve assumed girl if she’d not said! I think the ‘ith’ ending/ sound is more feminine - Lilith, Gwyneth
