She’s a blast from the past, a once common name worn by a famous writer. Today, she’s all but unknown – and not likely to return.
Thanks to Beth one from her family tree for our Baby Name of the Day: Zona.

There’s something fascinating about the letter Z. It’s the slashing mark of Zorro, the end of the line. A name that starts there seems exotic, daring, a tiny bit more interesting than one that starts with C or J or R.
Zachary is far and away the most popular, but he’s been in the US Top 100 since 19
Plenty of Z names have been profiled here over the past four years, and it seems like a good moment to stop and review those zippy – and fetching – Z names.

Xander and Xavier are hot names these days, so today’s choice could fit right in.

Today’s choice combines a zippy Z and a vibrant V, plus a great meaning.
Thanks to Tara for suggesting Ziva as our Baby Name of the Day.
There’s Zoe and Zachary, Zadie and Zane. But this Z-name has been overlooked.
Thanks to Charlotte for suggesting the name of her niece as Baby Name of the Day: Zipporah. (Great minds think alike: Kelly suggested it just a few days later!)

Take Zoe and Zara, cross with Lily and Violet and what do you get?
Today’s Baby Name of the Day, of course! Thanks to Paul for suggesting Zinnia.
Zach is heard everywhere. Zeke is gaining. What other Z names might catch on?
Thanks to JNE for suggesting Zebedee as Baby Name of the Day.
On the heels of Zane, here’s another zippy Z-name.
Thanks to Laney McDonald for suggesting Zora as Name of the Day.
He’s part-classic, part-cowpoke and all boy.
Thanks to Violetveruca for mentioning him a few weeks ago. Today’s Name of the Day goes out to her son: Zane.
He’s Biblical, quirky and offers up a great nickname.
Thanks to Paul for suggesting Zebulon as Name of the Day.
