I don't care what some guy with that name did. I doubt a person can ruin a whole name, it's not supposed to work that way... Anyway, Zayn sounds cool. I love short and unusual names, and this one is no exception.
I don’t get why people hate Zayn Malik and One Direction, they’re a good band (music wise, and personality wise) and Zayn Malik also left the band and people are giving him hate for even being in it at all? It wasn’t his first choice to be in the band, and it’s not like it’s easy for a 15 16 year old to say no to SIMON on the X-factor! I think it’s an amazing name, and it’s super pretty! It’s also my name so haters go away >:p (I was born before Zayn Malik went on X Factor)

People, Zayn Malik is not the only person with this name believe it or not, and he did not ruin the name or whatever. Zayn is a sweetheart and for those of you saying that 1D is talentless, how many music awards have you won? Probably nowhere close to them.
I have a feeling this name is only gonna get more popular thanks to Zayn Malik. One Direction isn’t horrible so cool I guess. Funny that out of all the unique names of the group Niall didn’t gain too much. It has potential.Anyways, Zayn is an okay name. I like the meaning.
Zain Javadd "Zayn" Malik is an English singer and songwriter. In 2010, Malik auditioned as a solo artist for the British reality television music competition The X Factor. After being eliminated as a solo performer, Malik was brought back into the competition, along with Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, and Louis Tomlinson, to form the boy band One Direction. During his time in the group, Malik and his bandmates released the albums Up All Night, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, and Four. In March 2015, Malik's representative announced the singer's departure from the band.
I want to like this name, I really do. But I can't see this name without thinking of Zayn Malik from One Direction (a boy band which I despise very much).

The meaning of this name seems weird as a male name. The feminine form makes sense, but not the male form. That being said, it will remind every one of a certain ex boyband member.
Not even because of the talentless One Direction band, Zayn is the worst spelling. Sorry, but stick to Zane & Zain. They just look more proper and overall better.

Zayn is such a nice name to me. Zayn Malik from One Direction sort of ruined this name, but still, this name is awesome!

Zayn Malik from that terrible, no-talent boy band One Direction has really ruined this name. There are better Arabic names out there.
Everyone, PLEASE disregard the fact that this is the name of a One Direction member! It's a beautiful name that literally means "beauty"! I love it and Zayn Malik himself!
Actually Zayn Malik's birth spelling is "Zain." His full name is Zain Javadd Malik but he stylizes it "Zayn." Still, the One Direction connection is rather off-putting when it comes to using this name now.

Don't really care for it. I would like it more if One Direction hadn't ruined it.
