Admittedly, this old lady has been watching 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch' in a marathon-like manner lately and the name Zelda has rubbed off on me (Darn Aunt Zelda!). I feel suddenly dazzled by it, like, 'Why haven't I noticed this name before??'

Anyways, what do you think of Zelda?

Oh I forgot about Aunt Zelda! That's right! I've really liked this name for a while now, it's very cute.

I like it quite a bit. I wouldn't use it personally, but I would be excited to hear someone else using it.

Legend of Zelda

It's too popular with both that show and the game The Legend of Zelda. For those reasons, I would not use the name.

The same thing ran through my head.

Aunt Zelda, Princess Zelda, Zelda Fitzgerald
It may be hard to shake those images, but I love the name. I doubt I could ever use it (DH has been a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda for decades now and wouldn't be able to seperate from that), but I would LOVE to meet a little Zelda!

In my youth, I would've probably identified the name with 'The Legend of Zelda' as I was quite the Zelda-holic back in the era of Nintendo (the original one that you had to blow into and beat just to get the games to work, LOL). I keep hoping that the Zelda Fitzgerald connotation will prevail, but those images are overshadowed by Aunt Zelda at the moment. :)

Perhaps you could work on your DH and get to use Zelda. :)

Lol about blowing and hitting the NES(m)

I had forgotten what a pain those could be, but oh-so-fun!

I would try to work on him, but he got a Wii for Christmas and has our two older children watching him play Zelda now. Our little girl pretends to be Zelda and our son pretends to be Link. I catch my daughter humming songs from the game! They would probably think a sister name Zelda is awesome.
