[Opinions] Re: MN for Zaire [girl] + Random BA's [last post]
I've not really though of Zaire as a girl's name, I've only seen it used on boys, I think. "The river that swallows all rivers" hmmm. Sounds vaguely menacing? I have seen Zaira used for girls occasionally. Zaire Patricia? Zaire Louise? Zaire delphine?Cylier: easily morphs in my mind to "sly leer."Gibson Cimxeeb: Gibson Typo, to his friends. What in god's name is aCimxeeb?Ledge: What's the appeal here?London Lynn: Drag Queens United in Sisterhood, Local 123.Pauley Pasquale: Oooh, very Mafia! And rhyming too!Bo Zoe: Bo Zoe Knows...Divinity: Like having a kid named Fudge. This family certainly thinks they're special.Grace Kelly: Both names are fine, but celebrity names in their entirety are not very attractive.Lei Loni Eva Lee: Leilani evilly swiped the Skittles out of Tommy's lunchbag, then denied she had done it. Leilani is so pretty, why'd they have to spell it this way?Lovelyn Tagiisioulima: That first name is a hooker name. The second, I don't know if it even is a name.Flores: That's a last name!Ivoriana Rose: At least it's a little less obvious then Ivory Rose, but it's more of a mouthful.Edna: Good God, she sounds like she's a nursing home resident.Amber Jewell: Another stripper name.xoey: They just did that so it would start with x.Princess Hazra Wahine: Again with the trashy Princess. Seems to be one in almost every list of ba's. I seem to recall from a book that Wahine is a not very flattering Hawaiian term for a woman?Chasity: Spelling it wrong just doubles the trailer-trash factor.Heaven-Leigh Trinity: I'm surprised they didn't add Faith or Grace on the end of it. This is so tacky.Hunter Savannah: Safari, anybody?DrewAnn Devlin: Drew the devil right in, didn't they?

I've seen it rarely on a girl, yeah the meaning is kind of freaky, I do like it cause it has rivers in it, but eek it does sound a bit mean. I don't know if that's the true meaning, as a I found that meaning on Wikipedia.com. Zaire Delphine is gorgoeus! :), thanks for the suggestion.

We had a baby girl at work named Zaire (not sure of mn, but she had a brother named Keeanu :-/). I don't care for it on either gender.
