Zuleika
- (zoo-LAY-ka) - I thought this unusual name deserved mentioning. It is wildly exotic, with a nice ring to it. It means "fair-haired" and is a character in a novel (I can't remember the author) who was so beautiful that men literally died for her attentions.
- (ZEL-eh-kah) Really weird-sounding, true, but I think it's beautiful. Plus, someone wrote a book about a girl named Zuleika who was beautiful that all the students at Oxford literally died for the love of her.
