I love Zephyr. I know an 18 year old boy named Zephyr, he's very nerdy. I also know a 19 year old boy named Zephyrus.

I know a Cornish girl named Zennor. It’s a place name and comes from Senara, the name of a saint.

Zachary sounds dated to the 1990s in the US, but also like a name that could have been used 50 or 200 years ago. Zeke sounds to me now about how Zack sounded 20 years ago. It's energetic and crisp but not a favorite of mine. 6/10

Zephyr almost seems like it could become a trendy Z update of Geoffrey or Tyler. I like the idea of it, but I've never met one, and it sounds incomplete or insubstantial to me for some reason. 6/10

Wow, Z is rare in British names! There's probably several variants of S names used, like Zadie, but other than that, it might mostly be rare word names, like Zinnia, Zenith, Zeal? I like Zeitgeist as a GP, but I don't know if that's actually ever been used.

Zenoby and Zennor are listed in submitted names as Cornish.

I like Zenoby and Zinnia.

2 of my favorite Z names, I love them.

Zachary - I always think of this as an adjective - oh that's so Zachary of you... It's not awful, just sounds descriptive. I like the 'Zach' syllable, but prefer Zacchaeus.

---

Zephyr - I quite like this, but prefer the feminine Zephyrine. It makes me think of rock stars, probably because of the line 'fly away on my zephyr'

I like both Zachary & Zephyr

I've just imagined naming a baby Zephyr and then constantly having to pat its back to help it bring up winds ... it's better than Sirocco, but I'd prefer Gail, or even Gale.

Zachary is so old that it's new. It shortens pleasantly to Zack, and is much more modern in sound and appearance than Zachariah; rather like Barnaby and Barnabas.

I like Zachary

Zoe, Zara

I love Zephyr and Zachary, but Zachary is a classic, and Zephyr is so mysterious that it will get repeatedly misspelled. But then again, Zachary sounds..aristocratic and snobby?

Zinnia is my favorite Z name for girls. Not borrowed. ;)
