Wdyt of the name Zephie?

I have just come across it on a different site. i didn’t think it was an actual name at first considering its the name of the talking pole on chuggington. I thought it was more of a nickname for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] or [name_f]Persephone[/name_f].

But needless to say its quite a spunky, upbeat name… [name_m]Just[/name_m] looked more in to it and its the female version of [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]!

What do you lot think?

[name_f]My[/name_f] son is obsessed with Chuggington. The talking pole is called Vee. Zephy is a train(I think she is green & brown). I do kind of like it as a nickname though.

I highly doubt that Zephie is the female version of [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]. It sounds like a nn for [name_f]Zephyra[/name_f] or [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f] which ARE female variants. Since your daughters both have full names, I would choose another full name for the third one. Here are some suggestions of names/words that end in an “ee” sound.

[name_u]Prairie[/name_u]
[name_u]Everly[/name_u]
[name_f]Kinsey[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Briony[/name_f]
[name_f]Sadie[/name_f]/[name_f]Zadie[/name_f] (this is more of a first name)
[name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_f]Trinity[/name_f]

To be honest, it sounds made up. It could be a playful nickname for a boy named [name_m]Zephaniah[/name_m] or [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u].

I second the suggestion of Zélie. Also, what about [name_f]Zofie[/name_f] or [name_f]Zofia[/name_f]? [name_f]Zofie[/name_f] mimics the sound except for the first vowel.

hahaha oh yeahhh!! she is the tram train!1 Shows how long its been since my son watched it or played with his train set!!!

Thanks but I’m not interested in name suggestions, as I was simply asking what was thought of the name.

The other site that I got my information from says and i quote ’ Possibly derived from Zephyros - the Greek god of the west wind. Pronounced ‘[name_m]Zeff[/name_m]-ee’, emphasis on the first syllable. Variations include Zephy, and the male equivalent is [name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]’

Ohh and I only have 1 daughter. :slight_smile:

It sounds like a nickname for Zehpyra and [name_f]Zephyrine[/name_f]. It’s not really any different than [name_u]Steph[/name_u] or Stephie to me. All nickname, not enough substance to be a given name.

I think its a bit nicknamey but [name_f]Kairi[/name_f] [name_u]Payton[/name_u] Zephie could work

Edited for privacy.

I knew a girl named Zephie for several years in Girl Guides. I think she spelled it Zephi? Anyways I thought she had the coolest name, and even when I was a kid I was obsessed with names, so I told her all the time “you’re name is so awesome!” so she thought I was a freak. :frowning: But I never forgot the name. I prefer the spelling Zeffie, and would totally name my future daughter that. Except [name_f]Sofie[/name_f]/Zeffie…maybe too similar? Zephi is good too though.

Perhaps a little similar to sofie… 9 althought i love that spelling of sophie and also sofia- prefer it to the PH versions) it was just a name I had come across when looking at names for my friend (that’s another thread on here asking for suggestions) defo a cute nickname i think!!

Thanks, but just to clarify that i’m not actually after any suggestions for my own future names, 2 ee sounding names in 1 name is not very nice imo. :slight_smile:
