[Opinions] Zebobia and Rupert
I've heard the name Zenobia a few times in movies and tv shows in the past month, which seemed like a weird coincidence. Anyway, I started liking it a lot. What do you think?
I've also liked Rupert for a long time-- do you think the nn Rudy would work with Rupert, or is it too much of a stretch?

Zenobia is lovely. I prefer the sound of Zinovia / Zenovia, but I like Zenobia as well. It's a rare gem.
I don't care for the sound of Rupert, but at least it's not overused. I really don't care for Rudy, but it could work as a nickname for Rupert.

Zenobia is not for me, I just don't like the look or sound of it really.
Rupert I've always had a soft spot for actually. Classic and handsome, I do prefer it for a mn though. I don't like Rudy as a nn for Rupert, sorry.

I don't mind Zenobia (definitely better than Zebobia which is that the title says!) but it's a bit too sci-fi sounding for me - I find this with most Z names.
Rupert is lovely though.

I think Tina Fey has a daughter named Alice Zenobia and the other is Penelope Athena.
Zenobia is fabulous, and Rupert is pretty good too. Not wild about Rudy for Rupert though; they're both only two syllables, and it seems to me that if you want a Rudy, you might as well just call him Rudy.
Zenobia is a little out-there, but I'd love to meet one - even if I wouldn't have the courage to use it myself. And there are so many nickname options: Zen, Zeno, Zeni, Zenia, Nobi, Nobia, B, Bia. Good times!
Rupert is so cute. I've always thought Rupert, Oliver, and Theodore would make great brothers (or triplets!). :)

I like Zenobia a lot. It's very fantasy-princess-esque to me, but in a regal way, not a cheesy way.
I don't like Rupert. I suppose Rudy could work. Would Rupy be weird? It could start sounding like 'rupee'...

I'm not a fan of Zenobia at all but Rupert is great! Rudy wouldn't be a nickname I would have thought of but it does work.
