Modern edge meets classic cool in this alternative spelling that transforms a common word into something distinctly personal. The Z injection adds contemporary flair and visual impact, making it stand out on paper while maintaining the same confident pronunciation. It's a name that suggests movement and energy, someone who doesn't sit still but actively engages with life. There's an inherent coolness factor here—it sounds like someone who would be equally comfortable on a skateboard or in a startup. The name carries a casual confidence that appeals to parents who want their son's name to reflect both style and substance. It's short, punchy, and memorable, three qualities that serve well in our fast-paced world. The single syllable makes it easy for a child to learn and spell, while the unique spelling ensures it won't be confused with others. For families seeking something that feels current and energetic without being trendy or fleeting, this delivers perfectly.
