The media hates "Walter." 99% of the time "Walter" is a whiney, stinky old man. An exception is the fI'm His Girl Friday wherein "Walter" is a roguish, rapscallion newspaper editor played by Cary Grant. But that fI'm is about 60 years old. These days if you meet a "Walter" he invariably is named after his father or uncle. Nobody looks at baby and thinks, "Walter." I had to name my kid Walter, to keep the'streak alive. he's number'six in a row. But we gave him an out. His middle name. If he doesn't fancy "Walter," if he thinks It's not cool, we told him he could go by his middle name, and we'd all be fine with it and address him by his middle name, "Percy."

I am not Arabic. I live in the USA & have always seen my name as unique though some names come close to it like Syeda, Saida, or Zaira. I have not really met a Zaida though I know there was another when I was in High School for I saw her name up on the board. It is often misspronounced as many have already said, and I go by how I want my name to be pronounced which is with an S though it has a Z at the'starting. I tell people that my name is Sye-da and then'they ask me how to spell it & say it way off from how I told them to pronounce it. About 4 people have told me that they know someone else with that name & I'm glad I did not meet that person. It's unique to find someone else with that'same name, but I also like that I haven't met them. There are a lot of unique names in my family. Half of my family have Hebrew first or middle names. My middle name comes from the Bible. I love all sets of my names. I am a shinning bright star and fortunate to have God in my life. He is amazing. I'm grateful for making me wonderfully made. I'm hispanic & very different than anyone my race or other races. I know that our names mean fortunate, but I think everyone is to be alive. I love the'spelling, especially the Z. Z is just so beautiful! I'm often surrounded by caucasians, and realize they have a tough time than other people i've met to prounouce this name. When I have a letter written'to me, often people spell it, "Ziada". Obviously,... It's not. Our names rock! God bless us all! :)

My name Zaida is pronounced Zy-da. I am told it is originally an old Persian name adopted by the'spanish in Spain during the 800 year Moorish domination. Allegedly a Kalif had three daughter princesses and one, who is infamous, was called Zaida. There is poetry in the archives of the university of madrid about the infamous Zaida. Depending on how it is pronounced, the old Persian/FarsI'meanings are either "Oh, holy one" or "one who is not necessary" .. It may also be a name in the book Tales of the Alhambra by Washington Irving.

My wife is a Puerto Rican Zaida, pronounced "SIGH-da" I initially thought it was "sa-EE-da", like Aida, but was quickly set straight. Zaida is not uncommon in the'spanish Caribbean and places like Florida and New York where people from there have settled. One thing i've noticed is that It's pretty much unknown along the MX-US border, which makes me suspect the'spanish settlers in the Caribbean and Mexico came from different parts of Spain. As I understand it, Zaida came into Spanish from Arabic through Moorish, maybe amplified by the famous Alfonso VI story.

My mother got the name from a novella which is a radio soap opera in Puerto Rico in 1961. The'story must have been good enough for her to give me this Mid Eastern name. I do have the look and people ask me if I'm Syrian since I was school age. I wished my mother had pick her name which is Carmen. I always have to correct people that call me Zelda,Ziva,Zeta, and It's crazy even in the Army the officer I worked for couldn't pronounce it and I told him to just call me "Z" and he thank me for making It'simple. The Moors did live in P.R.

Try to keep this short. We struggled with infertility for years and I decided to put HAVFATH on my tags, just a daily reminder to myself to have faith, knowing that God would let me have a baby, one day. Anyways, we received a chance to adopt a new baby girl and had less than 2 months to prepare and I could NOT find a name that I loved, wanted it to be unique but not crazy either. Saw Hadley and FELL IN LOVE, knew that it was to be my baby's name. She was born and since we thought she was a boy... I was ecstatic to find out she was a girl! Nurse asked if we had a name picked out and I blurted out "Hadley Faith" without even asking my husband!! Neat thing is, for years I looked at "have faith" on my tags, and now I have my Hadley Faith forever! LOVE the name. We do find that people tend to want to call her Hailey which is okay, if there strangers I don't bother correcting them. Everyone has seemed to be very fond of the name and often ask if It's a family name.

My name is Zaida. Inter'stingly, for the past 22 years i've introduced myself as "Zay-dah" because classmates and teache's could never'say it properly, "Zah-ee-dah." But i've always wanted to be called "Zah-ee-dah" the way I liked it, and the way my parents had intended it to be. So now I'm at college in Hollywood, and i've introduced myself as "Zah-ee-dah." It's a bit weird to have old friends back home in Hawai`i still call me "Zay-dah" but I have to say It's awesome hearing my name'said the way i've always wanted it to be! :)
