I’m a Zuleika too. My family pronounces it Zul-ee-ka (I’ve met several others on Facebook who pronounce it this way as well) .but nearly everyone calls me Zulie (like Julie but with a Z)

I am a Zuleika, with the pronounciation Zoo-lie-ka.

I used to hate my name, as noone can pronounce it and noone else is called it, but it has grown on me. there are so many nicknames that i have been called, when i was a baby my parents called me ‘leiky’, my sister calls me ‘zu’, friends ‘zuey’, the list is endless!

I think what makes the name so special is that noone else is called it, and i like that about the name, at least i do now i am old enough to appreciate it!

Hello, I thought Id put in a bit about my name! I am a Zuleika, all though my mum chose the pronunciation Zoo-l-ca with the middle lei sounding like the phonetic L.
I have loved growing up with this name, I was a Zuzu as a young child a Zu as a teen and now a Zuleika, it is a name that grows with you. Whilst travelling in the middle east I met a few girls with the same name but the pronunciation there is Zoo-Lay-ha with the last syllable being soft and breathy, in Egyptian children’s stories Zuleika is a fairy princess.
Its nice to have a name with such history, Im a Zuleika Madeline I think there are so many choices of second name that fit with it, all I can say is Thankyou Mum!

Zephyr seems like a stretch, but the nickname Zef feels promising. I’ll give it a try – he’s NotD on August 30.

I have to say, I would have dismissed this as a made up name before now. I love Zuzu as a nickname, but this is a bit much for my personal taste. I wouldn’t mind meeting a Zuleika, though!

I think I’d pair Zuleika with Octavia- it’s a pretty name, and it’s definitely dfferent but I think it just wouldn’t work that well on a child. Just like Octavia though, I love the possible nickname choice of Zuzu. Zuzu is just so cute! I don’t know about using Zuleika as a first name, but it would make such a cool middle name.

Speaking of Z-names, how about Zephyr as a NotD?
