Can’t decide on a baby name for my 2 week old son HELP

So my baby boy is 2 weeks old today and I still haven’t decided on a name for him. I feel so awful referring to him as “the baby” all the time! 😖

My shortlist is:

Azai - which I love as it means strength and it’s very unique but it just doesn’t really suit him.

Zac - (short for Zachary) which does suit him, but I just don’t love the name and feel like it’s a bit common. I know 3 Zac’s already.
Cruz - also suits him but sounds a bit made up with no real meaning. Again I’m not entirely sold.

I really want a name that is unique/unusual. Something different like Axl, but his brother on his dads side already has this name.

If anyone has any suggestions they’d be greatly appreciated! 😬

Thank you all for your suggestions! I knew Zac would be the main contender! Everyone I’ve spoken to so far loves Zac as well. I’m not sure why it hasn’t stuck with me as I’ve always loved the name 😖 I should mention my eldest is called Noah..

Love Theo and Ace. Max was also an option, along with Harry but just felt these names were very common..

Cruz is Spanish for cross/crucifix isn’t it?

I like Zac best, but it’s not unusual if that’s what you’re after...

AnneJeanne · 21/03/2020 16:24

Definitely Zac.

BrizzleMaverick · 21/03/2020 16:24

If I had a third (looking less likely now) and it was a boy then I would choose Zachary.

I think it's a great name!

CaramelWaferAndTea · 21/03/2020 16:23

I liked Zac but also Nathaniel (Nate) and Theo.

Albion?

Acer or Asa?
I know an Asa and they pronounce it Ace which is cool
