[Opinions] We have different points of view (m)
I live in a very large metropolitan area which is a melting pot of different ethnicities, so a name like Zephyr doesn't seem strange to me at all having been exposed to such extremes of diversity, and gratefully so. Zephyr would be considered the pinnacle of hip, and the mere suggestion of wind would not inspire fart jokes among this urbane, slightly jaded onomastically, melting pot. Try typing "Zephyr" into facebook, for example, and you will see plentiful examples of this (at least 500 anyway). Being a small fish in a big pond can inspire some fresh names. However...I assume you must live in a more quaint setting in which being different is not thought of so much as a commodity, but rather, a burden, and yes, I agree that if the child would be subject to such a setting that a name like Brian or Robert would be much more appropriate.Thank you for your perspective.
