Need cool single-syllable middle name to follow Zacharias

46 replies

WockComble · 29/11/2012 17:47

My current fave is Beau, but not sure DH will go for it. Want something short and quite funky, but not an abbreviation, to counteract the length/solemnity of Zacharius. Our surname starts with an M and ends in a Y.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated - baby due in a week!

I'd avoid middle names ending in s with Zacharias.

I think Quinn is very cool and sounds great with Zacharias. I actually prefer Quinn to Zach (if you're planning to shorten to that).

'Zane' for the ZZ initials? Or Zeus? Zev*?

*Hebrew for 'wolf', apparently.

Quinn is good, or John maybe?

Finn maybe? IMO something ending with an N would sound best with Zacharias and your last name (which in my head is Murray or Murphy - if it's neither that may change my opinion) Grin.

I know a little Quinn and have never once thought about a fanny Confused
Lovely name imo

Yes Kit is fab, but a good friend of mine's son is called Kit so I couldn't steal it. In fact she was the one who came up with the name Beau.

Agree that Zacharias Gus for example is too 's'y.

kitsmummy · 29/11/2012 21:40

Yes it has to be Kit.
Or maybe Beck.

But not Duke everyone's faithful mutt from their childhood

Love Chase, but I think the 's' ending is too much like the s at the end of Zacharias.

Um, I think maybe you were too, amazingmum. I've self-banned use of emoticons so my sarcasm can be tricky to read...
