Zaida

That is my daughters name. We pronounce it ZAY-da. She is a feisty yet empathetic child. Very strong-willed. She is also very “lucky” as for the meaning of her name. She was a miracle against all odds... though she was a surprise. I did not know the meaning of her name when she was named, but “lucky” is indeed fitting.

Sounds like an African-American name.

I would pronounce this name as zay-da. It sounds just like the word for "more" which makes sense coming from "to increase." I would use this name for a second daughter, perhaps for a twin when we expected only one baby. ;) I wonder if this name will get more popular thanks to all the "ay" sounds we hear lately (Aiden, Jayden, etc.).

I love this name! I might consider using this. I would use the pronunciation zay-da.

Although this is a beautiful name, it is a bit harsh and odd.
It reminds me of black people (probably because of how it sounds close to Jada and Daija) and dogs. (My grandma, for years, had a big, vicious dog by the name of Zaida.

I prefer it pronounced Zay-da.

I think this is a beautiful name. Out of all the Arabic names, I think I like this one best!

Awh, I like this one. It's kinda cute.
