Help[Opinions] Zipporah
This name gets consistently low ratings on my PNL and I'm wondering why. It's such a lovely name to me and while it might be a bit unusual for some people I can't see why someone would strongly dislike or hate it. So I guess I'm asking, do you like Zipporah? Why or why not?

I'm guessing its the unusualness combined with people being worried about the nickname Zippy (which I think it cute)
Its a beautiful name though, and I'd use it regardless of what ratings it got if my partner agreed.
It's also a shame that Séphora is so tied to the cosmetics store, because it looks much more "name-y".

Maybe it gets a low rating because zip and pour/poor/pore aren't generally considered attractive words in English.
That said, it was one of my favorite names when I first heard it as a kid.
I thought it sounded charismatic in an understated way, and I liked the meaning when I found that out.
It's not one of my favorites anymore, but I still like it. I prefer the spelling Tzipora.

Love Zipporah! I adore the original Hebrew spelling, Tzipporah. Not sure why it gets low ratings, it's lovely!

Hi !!!
I prefer the Italian variant Zippora (DZEEP-po-rah)
Also the French variant Séphora is awesome.
