Bonus: [name_f]Any[/name_f] other suggestions in a similar vein? [name_f]Zara[/name_f] is quite popular here (Top 100) so I’m drawn to slightly more daring, dramatic middles to balance it out. [name_m]Not[/name_m] a fan of two A-ending names together generally.
[name_f][/name_f]
Others I’m pondering: [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] Madelief… what else might I like?
I loooove [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]! It’s got such drama without frills and flounces. [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is also beautiful[name_f][/name_f] but there’s something about that -n ending of [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] that’s so pleasingly declarative. It is truly very hard to choose between those two, but I’d say [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] is bolder and sparklier whereas [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is more fairytale and thoughtful.

[name_m]The[/name_m] others: I like but don’t love [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] (something about the As together?); [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] has Telegraph vibes; [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] is cool and cosmopolitan.
Ooh, this is lovely and lends itself to one of my husband’s favourite nicknames: [name_f]Zazie[/name_f]!
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
This is a lovely way of putting it! [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] has been a GP of mine for so long but with a simple first like [name_f]Zara[/name_f] I think it’s absolutely wearable.
[name_f][/name_f]
I love [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_m]Vivendel[/name_m]!
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]! I like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] as well, but it feels a bit colder with the sparky [name_f]Zara[/name_f].
I would normally say Guinevere as I tend to like a consonant starting middle after a vowel ending first - but I prefer Endellion in this case - because of the change in pace between the names, the tailored quality, and how it rounds off the name (so last name would come into play of course as don’t want Endellion to be a full stop). They’re both dreamy and gorgeous names though, and Zara is my niece’s name and I adore it - it’s so swishy and sparkly. She’s nn Zazie.

So many other good suggestions above - Vivendel for eg is so lush!
I prefer [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]. [name_f]Zara[/name_f] gives me sleek, sharp, and stylish, with a hint of regal. [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] feels more balanced [name_f][/name_f]- brings warmth, whimsy and mystery. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is nice but it emphasises and shares that sharpness?
[name_f][/name_f]
I like [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] Apolline!!
I generally prefer [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] but the pattern of the ‘en’ sounds in [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] gives me a warm, grounding feeling. [name_f]So[/name_f] that would be my pick.
[name_f][/name_f]
But my absolute favourite is [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Madelief[/name_f]. [name_m]The[/name_m] variety of sounds is wonderful and I think [name_f][/name_f] it hits all the best notes of your of fun, global, friendly, spirited style – love it best with your five as well.
[name_f][/name_f]
For what it’s worth, [name_f]Zazie[/name_f] is a convincing nickname for [name_f]Zara[/name_f] as is. I don’t think any additions or adjustments are needed.
[name_f][/name_f]
Lots of ideas already in the thread, so I’ll just add:
[name_m]Loving[/name_m] the love for [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]! [name_f]So[/name_f] many gorgeous suggestions too.

@tallemaja[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Lilouenn[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Calypso[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Ferelith[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Pascaline[/name_f] are so stunning and unexpected!
[name_f][/name_f]
@VEL[name_f][/name_f] I love [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Leontine[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Isabeau[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Salome[/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
Squee! A real life [name_f]Zara[/name_f] “Zazie”! I adore [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Pomeline[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Ottoline[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Leonor[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Love[/name_f] this analysis! You’re spot on. I kind of love the ice queen vibes of [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] but you’re right than [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] adds something extra.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f][/name_f]
I do adore this one too [name_f][/name_f]— [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] is such an underrated gem. [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Capucine[/name_f] is beautiful!
[name_f][/name_f]
@Nessie4[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Celestine[/name_f] are gorgeous
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] FOR SURE! This took my breath away in a second! Though I agree with @cms1512[name_f][/name_f] that [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] is so lovely and underused as well. I adore both of them.
[name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] is so ridiculously lovely! [name_f][/name_f] I adore her so much. [name_f][/name_f] I am a big [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] fan, but she doesn’t shine with [name_f]Zara[/name_f] for me like [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] does. [name_f][/name_f] I do also like [name_f]Madelief[/name_f] and [name_f]Apolline[/name_f] from your options, though, too!

[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f][/name_f]
I’m tempted to say [name_f]Hero[/name_f] is the solution to every problem… but I don’t think she is here
I love [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Clemency[/name_f], [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] and [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]!
I like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] as a name better but paired with [name_f]Zara[/name_f] I prefer [name_f]Endellion[/name_f]. I don’t know why but something about the flow of [name_f]Zara[/name_f] [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] feels like its sounds are clashing too much.
