[Opinions] Re: Indira, Leda, Zaida ...
in reply to a message by Ciarda
Leda, which I pronounce as "LEE-duh," was one of the first names I ever fell in love with. We had a book on Greek mythology as kids and I was fascinated with the name Leda. I adore it.
Indira is another name that has attracted me for years. I have a special thing for girl's "i" names. Plus, I love the "-DEER-" sound in there. Gorgeous.
Zaida is new to me. I haven't clicked on the link, but I assume it is pronounced, "zah-EE-duh." If so, it sounds too similar to a co-worker's surname for me. I prefer Zinaida, which I learned as "zin-ah-EE-duh." If, on the other hand, Zaida is pronounced, "ZAY-duh," then it's very pretty and I can see it on a modern little girl here in the U.S. easily.
