Zvonimira: I love it! It's wonderfully unusual, beautiful in look and sound, and the meaning is unique. Zvonimira Ruth is perfect.

---

Zaida: I like this, too. It doesn't stand out as much as Zvonimira, but it is still very pretty. Zaida Ruth is a lovely combo.

---

Viana: This seems incomplete. I'd like it as a nn for Liviana or Viviana, though.

I really love Zaida and Zvonimira, both of which were favorites of mine at one point. I don't like Viana and I'm not quite sure why. Perhaps it's because it seems to me like an attempt of being high-class by naming your child something fancy. I don't know where that came from, honestly... I've never thought of a name that way lol. Anyway, I think the Zaida Ruth is positively lovely (Viana Ruth works, too), but Zvonimira doesn't work as nicely. How about Zvonimira Regina, Zvonimira Arlene, Zvonimira Miriam, Zvonimira Phyllis, Zvonimira Jerusha or Zvonimira Helen?

I feel like all of the Z's and V's are trying far too hard to be spunky. But I think that might just be because you posted them all together.

Okay so if I separate them out

---

Zaida Ruth has a really nice ring to it, and I don't think Zaida would be too hard to deal with practically. Plus the meaning is great, especially with the meaning of Ruth.

---

Zvonimira Ruth looks nice, but is quite tricky to say, and again the Z's and V's just scream at me. Cool meaning though.

---

Viana is a bit funny. Where did it come from?

Zaida Ruth is OK, not something I would choose, but it flows reasonably well, I think.
Zvonimira is too complicated for a first name, I'd prefer Ruther Zvonimira instead.
Viana, I just don't like.

I don't like them. I'm not crazy about the letters "Z" and "V" for names.
