Help[Opinions] Zephaniah
Ottilie has posted a list of male names in -iah (under Anaiah), which includes Zephaniah.
A family here in South Africa uses Zephne as a female name. It looks enough like Daphne for me to have wondered about a Greek origin, but that doesn't seem to work. Now I'm wondering about a feminised form of Zephaniah.
There's been a horrible case in the news here about a baby who was stolen from her mother in hospital when she was three days old. This, about 17-18 years ago. She is now in her last year of school, and a younger girl at the same school attracted attention by looking very much like her. Long story; DNA tests; they were biologically full sisters, and the elder girl's "parents" couldn't produce a birth certificate. Desperately sad all round. And the stolen baby had been given the name of Zephany, though of course she was brought up under another name.
So, Zephaniah, Zephany and Zephne! And the Zephany family don't appear to be connected in any way to the family that uses Zephne. So, I think I may be on to something. Any comments or suggestions would be most welcome.
