What do you think of:

Zoe Isadora for a girl
Zebulon James for a boy? (James is the husband's late father's name)

Zebulon? Seriously?

[justuschickens.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with Zebulon? It's a perfectly good Old Testament name.

Yeah, I have to agree. Zebulon is pretty....well, bad (i can't think of a nice fluff word atm). There's a lot of lovely Old Testament names that don't make me cringe though, and Zoe is cute. Pairing it with Isadora is a mouthful, but it works together. If you're dead set on it, I do think you did well with James. Nice flow.

Zebulun is perfectly good OT name probably meaning honor.

Zoe is just NMS, and I feel like the two names are too similar, but they do roll off the tongue well.

Zebulon sounds way off IMO.

I like Zoe Isadora. Zebulon isn't my style but Zabulon James sounds good.

Zebulon makes me crack up.

Zeb would be a nice nn for Zebulon. I could see how ppl might think it's a weird name, but I like it. It reminds me of the Bible. I really dislike the name Zoe but Isadora is nice and as a set I think it sounds okay togther.

i like them both.
but they might be a little too close for siblings. my sister and i both have T names and it always drove me crazy.

[justuschickens.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wouldn't use them as a sibling set.

I have this silly idea to do one kid with a "z" name and one with an "a" name. These just happen to be my "z"s.

I prefer Zoey. Just looks cuter.
Maybe you could call him James Zebulon?

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Perhaps Zebulon is an OT name, but it honestly makes me think of a sci-fi movie character. I do like Zeb as a nickname though.
And Zoe Isadora is very cute.

Well, see, if I have a son I am hoping he's the first person to walk on Mars.

You think they'd have let Neil Armstrong be the first man on the moon if his name was Niles? ;-)

Zebulon is absolutely awful - Bible or not.

Honestly, it sounds like a name that someone in a deep south trailer park would name their son - along with Zeke, Zedekiah, and Zion.

Don't do it. It's mean to your poor child.

I love Zoe, and Zoe Isadora sounds nice.

Having spent a few years of my elementary school education in Colorado, the name Zebulon immediately makes me think of Zebulon Pike, the man for whom Pike's Peak is named. With that connotation, I'd expect a Zebulon to be a rugged badass with a kind of Old Western aura about him.

Anyway, it's not a bad name, and Zeb is cute.
