Isaac or Zachary

To go with a middle name of Jeremy?

I really want DS's middle name to be Jeremy in honour of my late uncle but prefer the name Zachary over Isaac.

Do you think Zachary Jeremy 'goes' or is it too many 'Ys' together?

I like both (sorry...)

What about Zachary Jeremy Isaac?

Zachary Jeremiah instead?

I would go with the name you like best, in reality very few people will even know let alone say his middle name. You will though and you know the lovely meaning behind it too.

I like both names, but I think Isaac Jeremy flows better.

I like Zachary best, whilst Isaac Jeremy sounds better, I would still go with Zachary Jeremy. What a lovely tribute. 😀

I do like both but think that Isaac Jeremy does sound better together.

I just like Zachary more. I get the point about not saying the first and middle name together.

Thank you for you opinions! Gives us food for thought.

Both lovely, but I prefer Zachary. Isaac has a lovely meaning though. Something to do with laughter. He who will be laughing or something.

Isaac Jeremy sounds better.

I prefer Zachary, but how about Zachariah Jeremy or Zacharias Jeremy?

Loola24 · 02/05/2017 15:48

Zachary is a lovely name and I prefer it also. I think Zachary Jeremy goes fine I see no problems.
I wouldn't over think it, you love the name Zachary and you want to honour your uncle with Jeremy so it's win win.

It's a bit too Y'y, but will that really matter day to day when he'll be first name/surname not first name/middle name?
