Does Zeke make you think of Zika?

Am I crazy for worrying about this?

My new obsession for boy #3 is Ezekiel, nn Zeke.

Does it bring Zika to mind? What if Zika becomes a constant part of living in the US instead of a "new" virus?  If Zika makes news for years to come, will the name Zeke be too close for comfort?

Ezekiel is great! Zika never came to mind at all.

Would never make that connection. This is beyond overthinking

I wouldn't have thought of it. You're good with Zeke.

I didn't think Zika. TBH my first thought when I saw Zeke was zombies, since zeke was a nickname for the zombies in World War Z lol. But I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who would make that connection.

@MLS6212 he's about the size of the boys that I produce...
Cool that he has the meaning of his name on his arm.

I don't think you have too much to worry about. People don't connect Aiden and AIDS, so even if Zika is still a thing by the time your LO grows up, i think you'll be ok.

I actually agree with you....

That being said I do like the name Ezekiel.

Same. I never would have thought of it unless you'd pointed it out. You shouldn't have anything to worry about.
