I much prefer Zephyrine. Anyway, it's entirely feminine to me.

I like Zephyr for a boy and Zephyrine for a girl.

I would say it's a mispelling of Zéphyrine, ergo, feminine. I like Zéphyrine, Zepherine is okay but looks strange.

I think Zephyrine (with a y) is feminine. Zephyr would be masculine.

I think it is a great name, it has a really magical feel to it. But then again, I have been getting my kicks from a lot of names ending in ~ine lately.

It's okay IMO. If it was just "Zeph" or "Zepherin", I think it'd be more masculine but Zepherine is definitely feminine.

Totally feminine to me. I would use Zephyr for a boy. Plus, the "ine" ending has always come off as feminine to me because of Katherine, Emmeline, Josephine, etc.

Decidedly feminine. And spelled with a Y; it is a derivative of Zephyr.

Unless you know of some other origin for it?

Feminine, but...

It reminds me of epinephrine somehow, so it doesn't strike me as a good name. But that's just me. :-)

RE: Zepherine

It looks feminine, but also made-up. An elaboaration of Zephyr? You know, on second thought, it could be worse; at least it wasn't plucked out of nowhere... it actually has a meaning. NMS though.

Both

Because the Zeph sounds masculine to me but the -ine is more feminine :)

both.

but I don't like it
