This name has been on my mind a lot lately. Do you think it's usable? How do you pronounce it (with the acute accent)?I say zay-FREEN. Wdyt of Zephyrine just in general? Do you have any mn suggestions? Or do you think Zephyrine would be a better mn?

Thanks!

It sounds more like a name out of a sci-fi book than a real name.

Without looking up info on the name my first thought on pronunciation was zeffereen like Zephyr with an een on the end. Now that I've looked it up and see that it's French I'd guess the first vowel is slightly more "ay" than "e" but I'm not sure what to do with the Y. I like the look of Zephyrine and prefer it to Zephyr which I don't care for.

I love it

I pronounce it zay-FREEN as well. I think it's beautiful but I would probably use it as a mn, as it is rather long and unusual / hard to pronounce.
