So the only association I have is the Greek god of Wind, although it was used in the game Spyro 2, which just adds to the pros for me. Would as use Zephyr as a first? I have no real qualms that stops me.

I might even name a girl Zephyr. I am not so keen on Zephyr for a boy though.

I’ll admit I have a secret affection for Zephyrine, but can’t imagine using it in the first spot – possible as a middle though, because I have an irrational love of All Names Beginning with Z.

To me this is along the lines of Moonbeam or Dweezil. This is the name a starbaby might end up with. I’m not down with Zephyr, sorry!
