I love Zelda, but with no nickname, since it is already a nickname itself. I don't know any and I don't see it becoming popular because of the video game.

I'm not so fond of the combos you listed. Rose flows the best as a middle name, but I don't like Rose at all. I like Amanda (my name) the best as a name in general, but not with Zelda.

I love Zelda as well. I have never met one, but I would love to see someone use it! I'm not particularly fond of Zeldie as a nn, but I suppose a pet name like that would probably come naturally. And no, I do not think Zelda will become popular anytime soon.

Of your combos I like Zelda Rose best.

Do you like Zeldie as a nickname ?
- I guess it would work, sounds kind of cute really.

---

Do you know any Zeldas ?
- No, none at all.

---

Do you think it will become popular ?
- Definitely not. To me it's a name that a lot of people would find ugly and old fashioned.

Zelda Emmeline and Zelda Rose work the best imo.

Zelda was my nn in college, in the 1980's. That was before the videogame took over the name. But Kiera Knightly will be out with a movie next year about Zelda FitzGerald, so I hope other associations with the name make it more popular. I don't consider the videogame necessarily a bad association. But it's practically the *only* association most people have right now.

Griselda is great too.

Zeldie is a cute nickname.

No, I don't know any Zeldas.

Probably not. "Elda" names haven't come back yet.

I like Zelda Rose the best of all your combos.
