So many spelling variants of the name zach. Which would you choose?

[BobbieDog]

Im quite taken to the name Zach but there is that many spellings of it im unsure which is the most popular!

So far i have some across..

Zak
Zach
Zack
Zac

Which is the most recognised spelling does anyone know?

[EliCon]

Zach is classic for me and most preferred.

[whatty]

We have a Zac (full name is Zachary). I thought the "h" on the end looked odd, so we just went for the simplistic shortened form.

[BobbieDog]

I do like zach and zachary but im unsure whether to put a name on the birth certificate that i will most likely never use yet will people automatically think zach is zachary like people assume sam is samuel?

[Twolittlejobbys]

I would have said Zach or zac is short for Zachary. So depends what his name will be! I like Zak. Not short for anything

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I like Zac.

[Glitterous]

I prefer Zac but any spelling you've listed is fine.

[girlelephant]

I wouldn't presume that Zac was an abbreviation and would spell it as I have

[NoCapes]

I have a Zachary which we shorten to Zach

I have an irrational hatred of the Zack spelling - it looks so harsh

[Sophronia]

I like Zach or Zac

[Sophronia]

But I'd definitely put Zachary on the bc.

[bluechameleon]

I don't like Zak but all the others are fine. I think Zachary is lovely so would use the full name.

[BikeRunSki]

Zach or Zac if short for Zachariah, Zachary or Zaccheus

Zak if short for Zakaria (this is a Muslim spelling, not a "unique" spelling".

[AmberEars]

Or Zac if short for Isaac

[ineedamoreadultieradult]

Zac is most common in my circle of friends/acquaintances and it is sometimes just Zac on the birth certificate.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Zac.

[LoveFactually]

Zachary. Zach.

[Trills]

Full name Zachary

Always put the long version, then they have a choice.

[lovelearning]

a name on the birth certificate

Zachariah.

Nickname Zach.

[VanessaBet]

I have a Zac, full name Isaac.

[babyblabber]

Zach

[BobbieDog]

Would you say Zach/Zachary is very popular?

I like Luke too.

[VanessaBet]

I know one Zach (Zachary) and one Zac (Isaac, mine). They're both 8

[lovelearning]

Not many spelling variants of Luke.

[OlennasWimple]

Luke is a perfect name if you are unsure whether to "do" shortened names or not! And only one spelling (I think!) to worry about

[BobbieDog]

It really annoys me when people spell your name wrong as there is so many different ways to spell it.

Where as with Luke there is no shortening, no spelling errors etc
