Help[Opinions] Zephyr
Zephyr
I thought this name would make an interesting discussion. It's not trendy enough for me to hate it, and I don't find it too nerdy either. The way it's spelled looks like I'd hate it, but I still don't. I guess it's an anomaly. A friend of mine has a son named Zephyr Tristan.
With all that said though, it doesn't quite make the PNL cut. Maybe for a middle name. With a considerable amount of favoritism on Wolfgang for me at the moment, I was looking at other rare male names.

It's one of those names that's good on paper but that I can't imagine on a real human being. Personally, I'd save it for a pet.

I love it but for a girl only.

It's on my list, but not top-tier; mainly a mn for me. I have a fabulous dear friend named Sean who is like a force of nature, so in his honor I created my combo Sean Zephyr. Finding I liked the sound of it quite a lot, I therefore also paired John Zephyr, for my dad, who is also something of a force of nature and reminds me of a gale force wind *LOL* (he's a talker and a sport pilot).
I do realize that Zephyr / the west wind is thought of as milder than a gale, but hey, wind is wind; and Zephyrus was said to be the father of horses -- nifty swifty! =D
I also like Zephyron quite a lot, though I don't have any firm combos for it at this point.

John Zephyrus
John Zephyr and Sean Zephyr are very attractive! John Zephyrus is also quite stunning (using my subject and countersubject theory here). Zephyron crosses that line for me.
I notice no one has brought up Zephyra/Zephyria yet. Hmmm. Odd for here.

Zephyr feels too juvenile for me. But I'm in love with a feminine variant Zephirine.
I bought climbing roses named "Zephirine Drouhin." (They are a gorgeous cherry pink that does well on a northern facing wall.) What do you think of Zephirine?
Wolfgang is fun, but also suffers from a slightly *too* youthful feeling for me. What about Wolfram? It has a slightly more sophisticated sound to me. Wolfram von Eschenbach wrote medieval variants of the Tales of the Round Table. I fell in love with his name at once. I love Wolfe too, after Wolfe Tone.

Marie-Zephyrine!
Neat-o, cool-o! No, I didn't know about Marie-Zephyrine. That must have been controversial back then. Then again, when you are ruler of all you survey perhaps you don't care. Poor little thing, she only made it to 5 years of age. But thanks for the tid-bit.
I had to go back and check the spelling of the rose bush because I can never quite remember how to spell it. So now I see that it can be spelled either way.

It's not a name I would choose for my child, but I would't hate it on somebody else's.

Ridiculously cool - I really love it although I highly doubt that I'd ever consider using it (it's probably a bit too cool for me!)
I don't particularily like Zephyr Tristan as a combo - Zephyr deserves a really cool, really quirky middlename to go with it. Something with spunk and attitude. I see Tristan as a little weaker and much trendier. I've always thought it's a bit of a 'pretty-boy' name. I don't really know why though...
Still, good name and awesome meaning. One of my favourite mythology names.

I always thought the same thing! A pretty boy name. So weak.

Not a favorite of mine either. I agree with the connotation of weak.
