Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
Zélie is a short form of the old spelling of Solène, the name of Saint Soline, and it also recalls Zélie Martin, mother of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. It is chiefly a saint's name, so it is counted as a name of another religion. No source read rules on the name; a scholar's call.
