Our story of Zandria
When Alexander founded the city that became Alexandria, the story Plutarch tells is that his builders had no chalk to mark the lines of the walls, so they traced them in barley meal, and birds came down and ate it. The seers said it meant the city would feed many peoples, and it did. Zandria sounds like a name taken from the back of that city's name and given a new first letter, a Z that turns something ancient into something bright and new.

Fashion outlook
Zandria sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
