    Way too masculine! In any situation, such as school, where the teacher receives a list of names before meeting the children, she will always be assumed to be a boy.

    Now that you know you're having a daughter, I would pick out a new name for her. As one or more pps have said, people will expect her to be a boy when they see or hear her name. She would probably have kids telling her (or asking her if she knows) that it's a boy's name.

    Do you like any girl names?

    I think it is too masculine to be given as a full name but could work as a nickname. Some names to get the nn Zeke:
    Zakia Zalika Zelenka Zuleika

    A cute nn... but only as an endearing name (aka a name the mother calls her child). However, on a birth certificate, or even as a nn used all the time, it is WAY too masculine.
