dd is calling him cake but I think we need a proper name. I think we are sorted on first name but need a middle name. suggestions all welcome.

Our other children are:

Thomas William Ian
Samuel Owen
Jessica Emily

our favourite first name for him is

Zachary but need middle name. so far choices are.
Zachary Matthew
Zachary Daniel
Zachary Raymond
Zachary Benjamin

our surname has 3 syllables beginning H ending ys.

I think Zachary Daniel is the nicest.

I bet Cake will stick as a family nickname. It's cute!

Zachary Raymond would be nice and unusual.

theincrediblealfonso · 25/01/2014 22:16

I love Isaax, but Zachary is lovely too. zachary Daniel and Isaac Daniel work well, as does Joshua Daniel.

I agree with the zach/zac rather than zak. we were trying with isaac for an age but something about the actual spelling of it puts me off.

I would shorten to Zac or Zach, but that's up to you. Think it goes lovely with Tom and Sam whichever way. However Cat & Cake are great nicknames Grin

Thank you ladies :) sooo do you think Zachary is ok? I love the shortened version Zak as my eldest is now a Tom and Samuel is Sam at school. Jessica ends up jess, Jessie and cat (she's 2 and thinks she's an actual cat). silly dithering but im sure he's probably our last and I want to get it right iykwim x

Congratulation! Matthew is the best. Beautiful classic name and goes really nicely with Zachary.

HeartShapedBox · 25/01/2014 16:51

I think Daniel goes best with Zachary, Matthew is my second choice.

Ruprekt · 25/01/2014 16:42

MrsSpencerReid · 25/01/2014 16:08

I like Daniel best Smile ds2 is 3weeks and ds1 is still calling him baby, in fact, if we refer to him by name ds1 doesn't know who we're talking about!!!

Yama · 25/01/2014 15:58

It's Daniel from me too.

MoreSkyThanWeNeed · 25/01/2014 15:57

I like Daniel and Benjamin.
