My very good friend named her daughters Zahn and Zara. I'm not too sure of the origin of Zahn.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wrap!
Thank you for this wonderful series. Since I struggle with character names, I'm sure I'll be back to check out the posts I missed.
Congrats on reaching the finishing line, Joy.

Your challenge theme was great. Z names always make me think of the middle east.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much to all of you for dropping in during the month. Your visits kept me going! Congrats to you too for finishing.
ReplyDeleteThese look fabulous. Not sure how to pronounce most of them. I love the name Zoe. And Zeba. Not sure if that's how it's spelt. Thanks for all the names you introduced me to this challenge, Joy. It was fun learning so many that would otherwise remain a mystery.
