Saffron is nice, but I much prefer Saffronia.

---

Elva is nmsaa (prefer the masculine Elvis) and I find Zakiah pretty.

I like Saffron (nn Saffy) a lot, it's the name of a character in Hilary McKay's book Saffy's Angel, which is where I first encountered it. I don't love it enough to use, but I do like it.

---

Elva is too elfish and Zakiah would be better pronounced Za-KYE-ah imo.

I dislike Saffron. It sounds really pompous to me.
I like Elva, and Zakiah sounds nice although not my thing.

Saffron - I can't really appreciate the sound because I hate the taste of the spice so much. (LOL, so I guess the spice has to be pleasant-tasting for me to like it as a name :D)

---

Elva - Reminds me of Elves and Elvish. Not necessarily a bad thing. I kind of like it, for someone else.

---

Zakiah - Very neat, I tend to like Z names.

It reminds me of the song "Mellow-Yellow" in which he sings about being madly in love with a girl named Saffron and Saffron being mad about him. It was cute in the song, but I don't think I actually like it on a child.

I like Saffron, and the nickname Saffy. (It's also a color, not just a spice.) I'd like to use it as a middle name.

I don't like the other two.

Saffron is a spice(m)

something to put on your food,not to name your kid with. Elva is old-ladyish (but I rather like old-ladyish names!) and Zakiah is interesting.

Saffron sounds nice, but it's not something I'd use. I don't like the other two.

I like Saffron, the others are NMS

I like Saffron but would never use it, GP for me :)
Elva I strongly dislike (personal reasons)
Zakiah is cute!
