It couldn't be 1000x worse. I don't hate the name but I don't think it's a legacy name either.
Jess's Dream? Sure. But I'm always surprised by the amount of people who don't like Rachel's Valentina. It's not particularly clever but it's very cute, especially considering she was born on Valentine's Day... at least they didn't just go with Rachel's Valentine
You beat me to it. I think it's sweet they named her after somebody's (deceased?) wife, but there had to of been better names to get that point across. A cute nickname?? Pull a RA and do the first/middle name?? Simply Karin?? Who knows.
Rachel's Valentina also had a heart-shaped marking on her forehead. I love her name.KatieK101 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 8:32 pmJess's Dream? Sure.

At the very least I can appreciate that both names are meaningful to the connections. Zenyatta's people just add the letter 'Z' to words.
Even better! Idk, Zenyatta, Rachel Alexandra and Beholder are really great names. Maybe there's just no topping them!Slewfan2 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 8:37 pmRachel's Valentina also had a heart-shaped marking on her forehead.

Don't forget either that Q B One and Jess's Dream were both named via naming contests. So that seems like always the worst option possible.Calypso wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 11:04 pm I kinda like Zilkha and Zellda, they kind of have a european feel to them (they remind me of the Zarkava, Zerkaza, Zarkash/Goldikova, Goldika, etc names). Q B One and Jess's Dream are far worse (even though I like the backstory behind Jess's Dream's name - it's still terrible).
Jess' Dream was part of a naming contest too? I thought Barbara named him.Flanders wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 11:46 pmDon't forget either that Q B One and Jess's Dream were both named via naming contests.

I would probably like Zilkha if it meant something cool or if I knew how to pronounce it lolhttps://www.paulickreport.com/news/bloo ... rlin-foal/KatieK101 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 11:57 pmJess' Dream was part of a naming contest too?

It should be Zil (like pill) and Ka (like car). Those were the first two words that came to mind.KatieK101 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 11:58 pmI love Zellda!
