makes me think or the terrorhawks! That terrified me when I was little!

notnowbernard · 08/07/2008 21:46

Zelda?

This has triggered a flashback for me

Am sitting in childhood lounge, with traumatised younger brother (3yr old?) watching something on TV with a ZElda thing in it...

What is it?!

(She was green, I think)

notnowbernard · 08/07/2008 21:47

X-posts, Schneebly!

Could that be it?!

greenelizabeth · 08/07/2008 21:48

I don't know. My friend's Mum is called Zelda. I've always thought it was beautiful, but strong.

notnowbernard · 08/07/2008 21:53

OMG, Yes! That is Zelda

Blimey, no wonder little bro was scared shitless...

Having now had time to consider, I say Nay to Zelda

thisisyesterday · 08/07/2008 21:53

I love it, was on my list for ds2 (had he been a girl, obviously)

girliefriend · 08/07/2008 21:58

Okay a bit off the target here (quite like zelda actually!) but what are your honest opinions of the name Minnie? Have to go and see friend who has a lovely new baby tomos and not sure of what am going to say when she asks if I like the name?!!! Xxx

no please...Zelda is a computer game by Nintendo. Google it please before you decide.

A commonly held misconception is that the main characteris Zelda, (an elf in a green pointy hat and tunic, and carrying a wooden shield and a aword), but actually Zelda is the princess in the game who constantly needs rescuing. Do i sound geeky...cos i don't care

llareggub · 08/07/2008 22:13

I always wanted to be called Zerelda after the girl in Malary Towers.

greenelizabeth · 08/07/2008 22:16

Computer game!!!!

Like that's going to be still around in ten yrs time!!!!

GodzillasBumcheek · 08/07/2008 22:22

Oh sorry dear but it's a long running series and it's been around about 15 years already!!

GodzillasBumcheek · 08/07/2008 22:24

in fact over 20 years! Wikipaedia

claricebeansmum · 08/07/2008 22:25

Zelda Fitzgerald - wife of F Scott F.
Mad as a box of frogs - absolutely bonkers.

greenelizabeth · 08/07/2008 22:25

And you think it would still be around for another 15?! It will be the vic 20 of computer games

I don't know anybody who plays computer games.

My useless information tonight: Maureen Lipman's mum was called Zelda.

greenelizabeth · 08/07/2008 22:27

Absolutely Clarice. NOw THAT I knew.

Can't imagine that most people's uncles and aunts would read the birth announcement thinking, "like the computer game?"!!!!

GodzillasBumcheek · 08/07/2008 22:27

It may be, it may not be, that's why i said google it before deciding. I still like Hermione even though it's linked to Harry Potter books now.

And as for not knowing anybody that plays computer games...you do now
