Do you think Zadkiel is good/usable?

I admit, I love the name Zadkiel, a form of one of the archangels’ names. I’d even use it but I have gotten mostly negative reactions.

I also like Zachael, Zakael and Zakiel. :blue_heart::blue_heart::blue_heart:

I feel like the “d” in the middle is really clunky to say, and—for me—makes it seem like it’s a made up or mash-up name.

However, I DO really like the other names without the d. They feel less clunky in my mouth and sound more like real names to my ear. I really like the Zachael and Zakiel spellings.

I find it a bit clumsy and hard to say. I prefer Zakiel

I don’t know anything about the background as I’ve only heard this name in passing before, but I like the clunky sound! I think the hard consonants set it apart from lots of other -iel names, which tend to be softer. That gives it a cool, offbeat vibe — similar to [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] but way less popular.

I usually don’t like “clunky” names, as people would work, but I think it kind of works for Zadkiel- I just think a nickname would be necessary for more day-to-day life. I do like it, and would definitely say to go for it (as long as the angel doesn’t have any controversial mythology surrounding it).

Sounds made up so thats the only real negative. Good? Meh… Useable? Yes
