What a great name! For some reason I really wasn’t expecting [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], but I love it. [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_m]Fitzgerald[/name_m] is a literary icon and of course [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is gorgeous.
A really pretty combo, but I have to say I’m a bit disappointed! [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] is gorgeous, but I’m very surprised they didn’t go with something softer and more vintage. I was thinking she’d be [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]!
I thought that, too, actually! It’s a gorgeous name, but a little . . . Gothic? Not sure why I get that vibe, but something like [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] would fit more with the dulcet [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f], and [name_f]Birdie[/name_f].
I do like [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] (makes me think of [name_f]Sabrina[/name_f], the teenage witch) and I love [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], but somehow I don’t quite like the combo; I find they’re both such strong names individually that I would prefer them to be paired with something softer (and more flowy in general).
I do think they’re probably done with having kids so they just used whatever names were highest on their list.
Wow, I would never have expected them to go with [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]! I absolutely love [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f], it’s so striking!
It’s definitely not what I expected, although it’s super pretty! I don’t think it really fits well with the other kids’ names, but that’s just my opinion.
Congrats @regionlatbest for correctly guessing [name_f]Zelda[/name_f]! @Elsker got the middle name [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f].
[name_f]True[/name_f] berries, that we had both names listed
Oh wow!! [name_f]Zelda[/name_f] [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] definitely wasn’t on my radar, and I totally agree with the berries on some of the opinions about the name. But at the same time I’m sure once we get to know sweet baby [name_f]Zelda[/name_f], we will see it was the perfect choice.
Haha, yay! I logged on specifically to see what people were thinking about sweet Zelda Cordelia
I think it’s a corgeous name combo - but I do agree with @readingreverie@seawillow and @LDL2209 - it’s not a first name I would have chosen together with the other kids’. Something more humble, rounded and vintage would fit better in my opinion. But I do think it’s a lovely name in its own right.
Like @AISP I think it’s one of my recent more favourite choices - while I think Harriet is a nice middle name for Birdie, it is also my least favourite first name choice of theirs. Birdie and Zelda are SUCH different vibes!
But, although it is not my favourite name, Birdie I could understand still fit the theme somehow with Sylvie, Pearl, Henry, Rufus etc. Zelda I prefer as a standalone name but doesn’t really fit with Sylvie (especially sound wise, the S and Z), Birdie, Rufus, Felix, Henry etc. Very interesting.
I was almost certain they were going to choose Indigo. I wasn’t thinking outside the box enough! But I’m glad I got their style of middle name right with the alliteration/similar mouth sounds for first & middle - and by thinking of Cordelia as an option
