Im struggling if we have a boy. A few on here have said Zachary is really common but round here there is lots of Henrys Olivers Jacks and Elliots. I only know one Zach. Views?

Zachary isn't very common round here. I don't like the nicknames Zac, Zak, Zach at all.

Zakiraya/Zachary is a very popular name locally with the muslim and Jewish community at the moment. All my Muslim and Jewish friends who've given birth to boys recently have used some form of Zachary. I personally don't like that name- sounds a bit Saved by the Bell.

I like in a yummy mummy part of London and its very popular. But I think a lot of names are - so maybe just go with what you love and damn it.

We've picked Zakariah for our little boy due in Jan! Up north too! I don't know any others!

Depends where you live. Tons here.

I don't think they mean common as in 'popular', more as in 'not our sort of people' .

I don't think it's either version of common.

Sorry to clarify not struggling if we have a boy just with the boys name
