[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?

Love RupertThere's a famous jockey called Ruby Walsh and his real name is Rupert so Rudy would work as well! Zenobia is growing on me as well

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.

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'...

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!). :)

Zenobia is fabulous, but I would pay money to meet a Zebobia. :-P "Come here, Bobo."Rupert is very, very cool and I can easily see Rudy as a nn. I've recently fallen in love with Rudolf. What about him? He gets little enough love.

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.

I think Tina Fey has a daughter named Alice Zenobia and the other is Penelope Athena.

used to LOVE Zenobia!! I mean, seriously crushed on her! I had dreamed for at least 4 years of having triplets: Zenobia (nn Bea) , Zuleika (nn Leika)& Zenzile (nn Zili). Now I think "WHAAA????" lol. I still do love to see a Zenobia though. She's so regal!!

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.

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.

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.
