So my hubby and I were talking and we've agreed that when we have children, their names (first or middle) would be family names. I would love to honor my great-grandmother whom I was especially close to, however I really don't like her name. It fit her, just not my style.

Her name is Zelda Lola. So I was wondering, how can I honor her, but still have a name I like? Any ideas?

The only one I've come up with is Lila.

I actually think Lola is adorable. I love that name. And it suits a child as well as an adult. Lila seems like it would work too.

[Fez]

Zadie

or

Ella (Zelda Lola)

you could also use her initials (Zoe Lila?) or include her favourite flower or gemstone in your daughter's name.

I like the idea of Zoe, actually.
Also, Eliza comes to mind. It doesn't sound too far off from Zelda. what do you think?

I like Fez's idea of Ella. But I also love Lola for a little girl.

I think Zadie is adorable.

Lola is a form of Dolores...Lolita is another variation.

Similar names to Lola...Lulla, Lalia, Louella, Lila, Lela, Layla, Lulu, Leola, Lollie, Liliya

Zelda sounds similar to Selda or Esmerelda nn Esme.
