Comments for ZENOBIA:
The middle name of Tina Fey's (formerly of Saturday Night Live) daughter.-- websurfer 5/27/2006
I'm sorry. Ugh. This name sounds like a disease involving sleep loss as well as a few brain lobes.-- Anonymous User 1/9/2007
Zenobia Frome (called Zeena) is the hypochondriac wife of the title character in Edith Wharton's novel Ethan Frome.-- WeloveyouJesseLacey 2/11/2007
Sounds like Xenophobia! I think this name is great for a place, not a person.-- Anonymous User 6/19/2007
I knew a gal with this name, only her mom decided to spell it "Znobia" (um, wow). This name sounds as ghetto as the bearer I knew. Yuck.-- Anonymous User 6/19/2007
I'm sorry, but to be brutally honest, I can barely stand this name.-- Keeping Tempos 6/19/2007
Nicknames: Zeny, Zenka, Zenina, Nobie. Name Day: 30th September.-- Maggie_Simpson 10/13/2007
This was my grandmother's middle name and she hated it with a passion. It was an unspoken understanding in the family to just pretend she didn't have a middle name, and woe betide the hapless government clerk who insisted she put it down on some form or other. Her father, a student of Greek and Roman history, chose it for her, and I don't think Grandma ever fully forgave him for it.-- elizabeth hamlet 6/1/2008
It's quite a nice and interesting-looking name on paper, but PLEASE, spare your child the horrors of having this name. Think of all the ways somebody could turn it into a bad nickname, starting with Zenophobia.-- GreekMythology 8/7/2008
I love this name. It sounds incredibly beautiful and the historical Zenobia was an awesome figure.-- bananarama 6/28/2009
Very pretty, but I don't like the 'b' sound in the middle of it.-- -Julia- 8/22/2009
Zenobia is the name of the elephant in the lesser-known 1939 film of the same name, starring Oliver Hardy (in a rare project without Stan Laurel) and the has-been comedian Harry Langdon. The name has a really nice ring to it, since I love Z names.-- Anyechka 8/24/2009
My first introduction to this name came from Ethan Frome (which is one of my all-time favorite pieces of literature). Because of that introduction, I don't think I'd ever be able to separate the name from the character. For anyone who has read the book, you can see where that might be problematic! Otherwise, it's a very pretty name,-- popular1 11/11/2009
I think Zenobia is stunning. It has a strength to it that I like, and it has a spunk and almost defiant feel to it. I also think Zenobia tends to have a sensual feel, which MIGHT not be necessarily appropriate for a child.
Zenobia is just really beautiful. It's one of my favorite names. ^-^-- Lunar_Wolf 6/22/2010
I think this name is alright really, I suppose. To English speakers, this name can sound quite ugly and foreign, but I think the bones of this name are okay and I also think it could sound quite futuristic, smart, elegant and sophisticated, on the right person, though. :)-- walesgal92 9/12/2010
There is a minor character in the Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice) who bears the name Zenobia; Zenobia appears in Blood & Gold.-- bellehime 10/10/2010
This is the name of the heroine of Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1852 novel The Blithedale Romance.-- kkgnoise 1/14/2011
This name is also used in Poland. Although it's quite old-fashioned.-- Chwala 2/19/2011
I read that Zenobia is actually a cognate with the Arabic name Zaynab, meaning desert flower. Is this true?-- dayzunique 6/22/2011
Name of the Day: June 19th, 2011.-- AndrewJKD 6/23/2011
