Help[Opinions] Re: Zeppelin on a girl?
in reply to a message by Hekate Rose
It could be cute ...
if it didn't mean an airship, or remind anyone of Led Zeppelin.
About 20 girls getting this name annually, lately.
If it didn't have associations and was just a German surname, I'd think it was eh OK - but too easy, because of the -lin ending resembling a bajousand trendy girlnames.
Because of the strong associations, how it's not just a snappy sound to me and can't be just that - I can't like it. It doesn't exactly sound trendy to me. Zachlyn is trendy. To me Zeppelin just sounds kind of silly and verging on unfortunate. Zeppelin's sibs might be Hindenburg and Daimler, or maybe Aerostat and Dirigible. Or Purple and Sabbath?
I'm sorry ... I think I understand how it sounds namey to you. But I just can't un-associate all the associations I have with the term Zeppelin. It's like Tesla ... it's namey enough that someone will think of using it, but for people familiar with the fame of Nikola Tesla, plus the cars - it just seems bad.
