I love it and it will be a top contender I think, once I'm ready to have children (assuming my husband is on board). I associate it more with flappers and the 1920s and Zelda Fitzgerald than the video game.

From your combos, I like:

---

Zelda Margo
Zelda Fern - this is definitely my favorite, it has charm.

---

Other ideas:
Zelda Mae
Zelda Maeve
Zelda Roxane
Zelda Temperance

I think Zelda is a great name. I think it's usable, but agree that people will think it's because of the game. I like Zelda Charlotte, Zelda Fern, Zelda Rosemary, Zelda Violet, Zelda Bonnie, Zelda Carys and Zelda Tulip.

All I think is video games.

But the name is still fun nonetheless. I don't think it's unusable, but I would be prepared for a lot of people asking if she was named after the games.

You know, I was going to say I like it ok but prefer it as a pet name (it's one I considered for one of my cats) but the more I marinate on it, the more it's taking on this glitzy flapper image (very Roxie Hart in my mind). I mean, I knew who Zelda Fitzgerald was but I never gave her or her name any thought. But yeah, I'm liking it retro-chicness. I don't think the game has made it unusable. It actually makes me think of the aunt from "Sabrina the Teenage Witch"

I like these

---

Zelda Margo
Zelda Fern - would make a an adorable double name :)
Zelda Rosemary
Zelda Tulip - the flow is off but they just seem perfect for each other
Zelda Vivien - claaaaaasssY! Zelda Vivien Tulip would be spunky too :)

I love Zelda. I don't think the video game association is necessarily a bad one, since a lot of people love the game. If they think you're using it because of that, it's not a big deal.

I like Zelda Rosemary and Zelda Carys.

Zelda Bronwen
Zelda Louise
Zelda Mary
Zelda Ruth
Zelda Joan
Zelda June
Zelda Jane
Zelda Bryony
Zelda Lisette
Zelda Harriet
Zelda Katrin

I don't think of the video game as much as I imagine a gypsy woman with a crystal ball. But it does have a cool sound and I certainly wouldn't render it unusable. I think it's usable if the parent has a bit of a tough skin - they are the ones more likely to get looks.

---

Sometimes I think a "crazy" name like Zelda needs something to ton it down, but I just don't see it working wth Charlotte, Margaret, Rosemary and the like.

---

Zelda Fern is pretty rad.
Zelda Suzanne is fun to say with the repeated Zs.

I love it.

---

I don't think Zelda is as tied to video games as Mario is - there are enough famous Zeldas out there to separate it.

---

I really like:

---

Zelda Marian
Zelda Violet
Zelda Fern

And might I suggest Zelda Veronica?
