That's not a real name!

Someone I know has just named their daughter after a popular computer game character starting with a Z.

[Little My]

I actually kinda like the name, but it does make me think of Terrahawks.

[Derek Nimmo]

Zelda is a little old Jewish lady from Washington Heights, surely.

[Kleio]

No, they’ve specifically named this one after the game character.

[Dáire]

Pet Semetary

On the upside, at least they didn't name a boy Zelda thinking that's the name of the green-clad main character. Small mercies.

[Kenickie]

Zelda is a really nice name.

[Leap]

At least it's an actual name and not e.g. a Pokemon Is it big again now or is this more of a nostalgia thing? :outoftouch:

I think if Game of Thrones had had its moment 30 years before I had kids instead of being a recent phenomenon, I definitely would've considered Arya as a baby name.

[Morganna]

I know a poet called Zelda. She's an adult . I think her parents were hippies.

[Kleio]

I’ve just met a real life Renee-Esme. A shit name from a shit franchise. That poor kid.

[Kleio]

This has to be satire.

[Duophonic]

I've received an email from a colleague and their name is PengBin.

I keep reading it in a Benedict Cumberbatch stylee.
