ie was it really popular a few years ago, also what about Zachariah (please excuse the spelling if incorrect) Thank you in advance dh and I are having a bit of a frustrating time compromising on boy names!:0

I prefer Zachary. I don't know any Nathaniels.

I think there are quite a few Nathaniels around, although it is not as popular as, say, Matthew or Samuel (at least where I live). I quite like it, and it is a very traditional name way back in my family (as is Ozias, but that has never regained popularity!)

Zachariah not quite so popular, although several Zacharys or Zacs around.
