Help[Opinions] Re: Zelda
in reply to a message by erb816
I never played the game or watched the Witch, so Zelda always said F Scott Fitzgerald to me: doomed flapper glamour. And I always had Grizelda in the back of my mind, and I didn't like that at all.
Then, a friend and I were talking names, and he said that before his parents were parents, they were looking at a names list in a magazine and identified three names they liked, and later used, for possible future sons. I asked what they would have called him if he'd been a girl, and with laughter in his voice he said "Zilda". I queried it of course, and no, they didn't mean Zelda; they just liked it. Suddenly, Zelda became much more attractive than I'd ever thought possible. Though I still wouldn't use it, especially with brothers named Brian and Graham!
