Comments and insights on the name Zona: | Edit

My name is Zonna and I love the name. Although sometimes it is hard to get people to understand over the phone what the name is. I usually tell them Z (as in zebra) other wise they put D or V. I didn't like it when I was younger as it was really different. But now they have really different names anyway. When I got older I started really liking it and have had a lot of comments (good)on it. Even have one distant cousin named after me!!

My great-grandmother was Zona - I was lucky enough to know her and now love the name. I can see this one fitting in now because of the similarity to Sonia.
