Zelda?

Is the world ready for her?

Associations are just associations. Within reason. Obviously Maxine or Myra would be too strong an association to overcome, but I think that a child can make a name their own. So long as the association is not something disgusting or evil.

But saying that, Liz Hurley's Damian, I've got used to that.

Just saying "but there is a book/film/car/toybear called xyz" isn't that strong an argument against a name.

Despite being the name of FSF wife it is a rather good name - bit zany - nice to write. All names have associations some way or another - either public or within families etc.

i wanted it because of zelda fitzgerald lol

Zelda sounds like a german shot putter imo.

I like Zara though. A woman at my work has a daughter called Xaria (pronounced Zaria)

I was a Zelda. Wish I'd kept it.

Intriguing. Did you change your name to Sarah when you were 13?

Erm, no.
I expressed a wish to change it when I was 4 or 5. New name wasn't fully my choice. Regret it muchly.

really toot how weird

i have never heard of anyone doing that

Will never let dcs change their names
Seriously, means you have to explain and justify things endlessly. Perhaps I'm over-sensitive, I was persuaded to change my surname when I weas in my teens....regret that too.

another one unable to take it seriously thanks to Nintendo.

Oh TooT really?

I like it. Also made me think of Kelda

zillah

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah fan?

Beautiful Zelda from Galaxy 4 ...

Perhaps Zelda Fitzgerald was a bit off but the name smacks of all things flapper and 1920s to me - which is very cool, imo.

Legend of Zelda is the best series of games ever made by nintendo - i'm surprised no-one has mentioned it.

Love the game - can't decide whether the connection spoils the name or makes it kind of cool...

oops - it did get mentioned - sorry read every post now...

The Alexier that Raahh knows, is actually my twin sister and Marcus is my brother, yes i agree, my parents did cover all bases lol! I hated my name as a kiddie, but actually i adore it now!

Wow, that's funny! Can you work out who raaah is?!

quite like Zara but not Zelda !

For me it's a witches name, for some reason, but years ago I did know a 3 year old called Zelda, and she was geogous.

I think it's the kind of name you have to be able to carry off.

Does anyone else remember Zelda from Grange Hill?

Nope.

Nope.

Very strong name I agree however it is not a name I think OHH I like or OHH I dislike it is very much a oh ok name with me I dont think wow thats unusual I have known a couple in my life

Lonnie

Zelda is a seriously cool name.
Do it if you haven't already!!!!

Well my real first name is Selda (yes, with an S) which I have hated all my life and so I try not to use it anymore. Not very helpful but just wanted to get that off my chest.
