Comments for the name Zelda (2)

This is the name of the Princess in Shigeru Miyamoto's famous games the Legend of Zelda.

I just wanted to add that Miyamoto named the game/character Zelda after Zelda Fitzgerald (American novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald's wife) because he thought the name sounded "pleasant and significant".

Zelda was the name of one of Sabrina's aunts on the show Sabrina the Teenage Witch.

The name is shared as well with Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

I like this name! It's not a very common name and it just totally rocks.

Pronounced zehl-dah, tsehl-duh.

Zelda is the name of Robin Williams' daughter.

Absolutely adore this name.

This sounds like a dark fairy's name that has an bag of tricks and evil.

Hehehehe. A fairy with a bag full of evil? Yeah, maybe. For it me it just reminds me of The Legend Of Zelda. Maybe that's because I LOVE it. Ah, but I would sadly not name a child this. She might get ridiculed because of that. "Look who it is Princess Zelda! Have you found your Link (that's the hero of the series) yet"? Well, I might change my opinion later on. I met lots of people who know Mario (you know Mario). But when I mention Zelda, "Zelda who?". That's my opinion. If you want to name a child Zelda go ahead. It's your choice. Not mine.

Zelda is one cool name.

Zelda Schneersohn Mishkovsky (pen-name "Zelda"), Israeli poet, notable writer of Hebrew religious poetry.

Zelda Harris is an American actor.

Zelda Rubinstein is notable for starring in the Poltergeist film series.

Zelda is used as a nickname for Griselda.

Zelda is the name of the tame Wild Turkey resident in Battery Park, Manhattan.

Zelda is a French black metal band.

What a cool name. Very exotic.

This name reminds me of Zelda from the legend of Zelda games.

Zelda was the name of Rachel's older sister with meningitis in Pet Semetary. Rachel is haunted by the memory of her sister lying in bed, choking to death on her tongue.

Yes! Pet Semetary is all I think of when I hear this name. That and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I always found the idea of two siblings called "Rachel" and "Zelda" strange though, for some reason. I would kind of like to see this name make a comeback, but I would never personally use it.

Zelda is a given name meaning "female warrior". And a nickname for the feminine name Griselda which means "dark battle".

Zelda is the ugliest name I have ever heard.

I love this name. It's got to be the classiest name apart from the Legend of Zelda games. I love watching my brothers play that game.

It's that kind of name that can either make or break the graceful princess, the sweet book nerd or a mischievous fairy. I guess you can say the name's versatile!

A favorite amongst all the game nerds, who unfortunately will never have kids in order to use it. Haha, I'm just teasing, I have to admit, it is a very pretty name. Me likes. :]

I really like the name but can't stop thinking of "The Legend of Zelda" video game.

French, Spanish.

I think this is a very strong yet elegant name for a girl. Despite the Legend of Zelda association, I quite like it.

I really like this name. My mother said her parents were considering naming her Zelda, but she got Alison. Very interesting, considering the uniqueness of one and how plain the other is.

My name is Zaldy which is a masculine form of the name!

Zelda Kelberman Metz is one of only several score of survivors of Sobibór. This young woman, originally from Holland, helped to plan and carry out the mass revolt, uprising, and escape in the camp, and was one of perhaps only sixty people who managed to evade the massive manhunt that went on for days afterward.

I like this name, but I always think of the video game character when I see it.

Zelda and Hilda are the aunts of Sabrina on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Plus everyone on TV has a scary great Aunt Zelda.

Cool and exotic name.

I really love this name, not just because I love the Zelda game series.
This name sounds unique and futuristic--and it reminds me of gold. I can totally see a spunky toddler Zelda as well as a teenager and older woman. Love this name :)

This name is beautiful and unique. It does seem a bit hard to see a modern child with this name, but it always makes me think of the Zelda game series, which is a plus.

I really like this name. It's spunky and uncommon.

Zelda Williams is an American actress. She is the daughter of Robin Williams.

This name is so beautiful, and much better then the name its derived from, Griselda. It reminds me of a beautiful fairy, or princess, thanks to the Legend of Zelda connection, which I like. I also love the connection to Zelda Fitzgerald.

It's a really nice name, but unfortunately most people will probably immediately think of The Legend of Zelda.

Zelda can also be a short form of Giselda, a name which is also found spelled as Gizelda (mostly in Brazil). Giselda itself is the more modern form of the ancient Germanic name Giselhild - also see the entry for Giselda in the Submitted Names Database.
