Just out of curiosity, what do you think of Scheherazade?

I really like it - the sound, the background, and the fact that it comes with some built-in classical music of the same name. However, I think it would be pretty burdensome as an actual name. People generally wouldn't know how to pronounce or spell it.Is it your cat's name?

I like it, but it's long and I've seen a few different spellings.

I have always liked it.

I absolutely love it, its so beautiful and elegant. I was first introduced to the name from a character in the anime Magi lol.
It is a mouthful but I don't think it's too unrealistic on a real person; the NN Hera would be lovely~

I love it--grand, literary, and impossible to forget. Zadie would be a cute nickname.

I think Scheherazade is an awesome name, and I don't think I'd even mind something that long and heavy as my own. But it does feel long and heavy to bestow upon someone else.

It looks like the name of a luxury Arabian yacht or palace. So many potential spellings and pronunciations, and it doesn't even look good.
All in all, totally unusable as a human name.

I knew oneShe legally changed her name to Sherry(or Sheri? I forget) when she could.

It's beautiful but way too much. There would be spelling and pronunciation issues galore. Heck, I can't even spell it without looking it up and I'm a name nerd!

Hi !!!!It is fascinating and beautiful but I would not use in real life because I dislike how it seems German.Shahrazad is a better choice.

REALLY cool, but i prefer the original spelling Shahrazad, looks nicer and it's ironically way easier than the anglicized version for English speakers

I think it's far too over-the-top to ever be anybody's name. It would sound like a performer's stage name, but I'm not even sure what kind of performer? Magician, stripper, daredevil, who knows.

I like it in theory, but it would be an impractical name to use IRL for a person.

I think it's delightful and very strange looking.
