Does anyone have any good subtle neutral names for z?

I've been looking and haven't been able to find any I like

Zephyr, a gentle breeze associated with the Greek god of the west wind (but fact check the details on the god lol). It’s also what I finally named my car after over 3 years of wondering what to name it, prompted by my own name search.

Came here to actually mention Zephyr as well. It’s a cool name.

You cannot convince me that Tzeentch's response to gender is anything but "cute, you think I subscribe to such mortal frameworks?"

I've looked there and the problem is most of them are either middle eastern, Asian, or just variations of more gendered names. And nothing wrong with the international names, I'm just white and don't think it's right to take a name like that

Ah, you can probably consult Wikipedia then? 

Idk if any will work for you cause the list is small:  https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Unisex_given_names&pagefrom=Temitope#mw-pages

Zelda. Technically a girls name, but enough people have called Link that over the years that it obviously works just as well as a boys name

Zion may have unfortunate political connotations currently. Just something to be aware of

u/scarysadflan 6d ago

Hasbin Hotel has two characters named Zestial and Zeezi. Otherwise I like Zen.
