1. It's decent. I think of the jewelry store, but it's still usable.
2. I would just stick with Zale.
3. It reminds me of Dale and Zane, so I definitely think of it as masculine.

1. I think it sounds annoyingly trendy and is completely without substance.
2. Zale, if I *had* to use it.
3. Neither- I see it as a jewelry store.
4. Nope. Sorry.

Department Store!

Sorry, all I can think of is the department store (was it an electronics store?) Zales! also, it makes me think "There is a Sale at Zales". Not terribly lovely associations. I would see it as a boys' name, because it's kind of like Zane or Gale. If you were to use it, I'd make it a middle name. That way he could go by it if he wanted to, or pick something sort of similar instead. Combos: Zale Gideon, Jordan Zale, Evan Zale, Luca Zale...

You could spell it Zayle if you were doing it for a girl, like Gayle, but i think it'd be weird on a girl, and that spelling looks confusing like maybe it's pronounced Zay-lee or something. Zail, Zaille, Zeil are other options.

I think of Zale's: The Diamond Store. I kind of like the sound, but not enough.

---

I'd spell it Zale, I guess. Zayl, Zail? Zayle?

---

Probably male. It is a surname, in the case of the store-- Morris Zale, William Zale, and Ben Lipshy were the founders. I guess it could work on a girl too.

---

I like the idea of it as a nn for Azalea, as mentioned by Serafina Starstrider.

1. Hate it. Trendy and insubstantial. Also reminds me of the jeweler's company.
2. I don't know how else you would spell it. Zail? It all looks really stupid.
3. Boy.
4. Sorry, I can't think of anything that sounds good.

---

Serafina's idea to use it as a female nickname for Azalea is very nice.

I haven't heard of Zale before. My instinct is to pronounce it ZAYL. It seems slightly more feminine to me than masculine. I would like it as a nn for Azalea.

---

I like the name Azalea with the nn Zale. Azalea sounds beautiful, sexy and exotic. Zale sounds spunky and cool.
