As for nn's, I agree with Elphi that Zelda seems obvious. Perhaps also Zel. At my house, though, I can tell you it would just be Z, unless it was Tinkerbell or Sugar or Pumpkin.

Just a few suggestions for mn's, if it's not too presumptuous; not sure what style you like. I should warn you, I'm very big on alliteration and assonance. Therefore my first focus is on the Z. Off the top of my head... French names seem to lend themselves to the Z sound, though not all of these are French.

But with such a terrific and unusual name as Zerelda, why would you do that?

So what combos have you thought of?
