HelpRe: Thoughts on a nickname for my still-regretful name choice....
in reply to a message by Dorchadas
Ollie is cute! Thank you for your perceptive on Zalia- And I can see that point-Thalia didn't fit her either in that way (to me) it seemed too old and mature for a baby when I pronounced it my way. Re: Zelda, to me it has a quirky heaviness, it was one of the many names I considered that my DH vetoed, though he didn't like it because if F Scott Fitzgerald (who knows why that bothered him) and the video games!

Well, Zelda Fitzgerald had a nervous breakdown and died in a mental institution while her husband was having an affair with a younger woman, so maybe that's why he doesn't like the name.

He did not mention that as off-putting, just didn't like the literary or electronic allusions.

Ah...well, Fitzgerald isn't everybody's cup of tea. It took me a while to get into him, and even now I far prefer his short stories to his novels.
"Electronic allusions"...I have to use that. :)
