    I like Zenna.

    Zenah makes me think of pronouncing it Zee-nah (and also reminds me of Xena the warrior princess lol).

    I know it's not a Z name but do you like Xanthe? It is pronounced zanthee. I think it's pretty and unusual...
    Zelda, Zahara is a favourite of mine...

    I would spell your choices with a H at the end so it's less like Henna..

    I do like it... but I like the fact that Zenna is a variation of "Zen" more

    Xanthe is an awesome name .

    I love Zennah, not too keen on Zenah because I think people would be tempted to pronounce it Xena...

    Zahra / Zahara is a favourite of mine but probably not out there enough for ya . I also like Arizona.

    bumpity bump...

    I see your ticker says ... little Z. Are you definately going with a Z name, or is that just referring to your Zen baby? I love Z names!

    I heard one the other day I thought was interesting. Zokiah (Za-ky-ah). Not sure of the spelling, there'd be a million dofferent ways, but I loved it the second I heard it. (Girls name BTW )

    I prefer Zenna. If you don't have the double N you'd get too many Xena's I think.

    Interesting - we had 3 Z boy names picked out (we knew he was a boy) - so I will be most intrigued to hear what your choice is even after and it is a girl ......

    AAAh the world needs more Zen - I see where you're coming from now... Well in that case Zennah! i think it's a bit more feminine...

    Completely off this - my friend named her daughter Tenzin - it's a name that ordained Buddhists use and I thought was nice...
