..it looks and sounds ugly, and I can't get over the 'zip' part.

Love it, but only for a mn. People wouldn't know how to say it!

Zipporah is good... not overdone...
Deborah
Ruth
Esther
Abigail
Joanna
Elizabeth
Jerusha

Wouldn't choose Leah because it means weak eyes
Rachel, Rebekah and Sara are nice, but overdone... and Eve is kind of popular these days too.

I love it

I like this name! It's full of life and I can see it aging well. I would love to meet a little Zipporah. I think the nn Zora would be cute
