What do you think of the name Zephyr for a boy?

[ed1969]

OK here is an honest opinion so hold on. It sucks. I'm sure he will hate it as he gets older. Boys like to blend in. Girls are different and your thinking like one. Girls like stand out names , that is why they come up with the different spellings like Jeniphyr for Jennifer or Lynda for Linda. Guys don't want to be different. Give him a good strong masculine old fashioned name, Mike, Joe, Tom, Jake, he'll thank you later when you tell him you were going to name him something stupid like Zephyr.

Sounds like evil movie corporation or a sci-fi artifact. Umm.. It does sound really cool, but there's possibility that the kid is going to get picked on because of it.

I think he would get made fun of in school and have a lifetime of people not pronouncing his name properly. Go for a more common, pronounceable name or you're setting him up for failure. Studies show children with odd names are more likely to have low self esteem because people can't remember or pronounce their names and they make fun of them.

Don't make your child a target.

i think it would be a good name when they were young, the most important thing is to think about whether it will still sound good when they are 30, i think Zephyr is an awesome name though!

I don't know how that is pronounced but I think Zafir would be a good name for a boy.

I was somewhat wondering if the high school assholes would claim that the name is feminine, but to be honest, not really, and even if they did, it wouldn't really matter. It's a cool name, especially if people will call him "Zeph". That's so cool, haha.

First thing i think of when I read "Zephyr" is the item from League of Legends haha. Personally I don't like it, but that doesn't mean it's not a decent name.

Zephyr is such a cool, masculine and badass name. Reminds me of the Resonance of Fate character as well.

[HandsomeRaj]

Sounds good as well as masculine but the meaning of the name sounds more fem :)

A different name alright but sounds nice :)

[TheDevilInside]

sounds more like a name for a girl. Kinda like Sapphire. Zephyr is not very masculine, I'm afraid he will be bullied.

[Haraklus]

It's exotic sounding. I'd think the kid's parents must be weird. For all that I'm anti conformist, I really love traditional, strong names.

[Aizou]

I like the name, but from what I understand
it's supposedly a girl name, with origin in Greece.

I still like the name though ^~^

[TheEnding]

Reminds me of pokemon. The Zephyr Badge. It's unique. Kinda badass. Only thing is, he might get made fun of in early schooling because it is a strange name. He's also gonna have to tell everyone how to pronounce it, which might be annoying for him.

[Ezio1981]

Reminds me of a Madonna song "Ray of Light". But the name itself is cool

[lumos]

Sounds a bit too odd in my opinion. Like something from a cheesy sci-fi movie.

[godfatherfan]

Yikes. is it a family name or something? That sounds really bad. and he is going to get teased something fierce... unless you come up with some kind of nickname that he goes by.

[rUinSAYAN]

sounds like a equipment on League of Legends.
If you put a pool with names, put Son Goku or Gohan as option. one of those both will definitely win

[darrek]

Its a nice name. In Arab it means gentle breeze ( and its very close to the pronunciation of whistle).

[kambo_trick3y]

Unique name, but he's gonna be in for some shit when he hits high school. No denying that.

[Balcazaurus]

And here I am wanting to name my first son after the Aztec Underworld.

Mictlan.

[BertMacklinFBI]

its kinda cool. it sounds like a cool Greek name. I've never heard anyone named that in the states though so I think itd be awesome.

[Vegvisir]

Isn't Zephyr the god of the west wind? Sounds a little eccentric but cool I guess :P

[Ghosty]

Sounds beautiful, but so hipster that it makes me shudder. -> nope.

[SkyrimAddict]

I think that it is cool, reminds me of the Resonance of Fate character.

Zack/Zach and Jeffery/Geoffrey put together.

Hmmm... I like it =)
