Thoughts on different versions of the name Zac??

Hi all,

I love the name Zachary but it really does not work with his surname (very rhymey). I’m also not a huge fan of Zachariah. He will be known as Zac in every day life but considering a longer name for his bc. Thoughts on Zacarai (like samurai) but wondering if this is asking for a lifetime of mispronunciation?

OH just says put Zac on the bc if that’s what we will call him!

Any thoughts would be appreciated x

I think Zach is fine as a stand alone but I would spell it like this (or Zack, or even Zak). Zac looks incomplete, like a nickname.

That’s a shame - it’s a lovely name. Can’t think of any other options sorry!

@Lund I really like Isaac but OH isn’t keen and won’t budge on it.

We had this issue as well OP. Both liked Zac as a nickname, but didn't want it as a full name. Neither of us like Zachariah. DH wanted Zachary. I wanted Isaac.
We ended up naming our DS completely different 😂
Sorry, not much help there!

What about Isaac? If you go for Zac as the full name I would spell it Zach or Zack as for some reason Zac looks more like an abbreviation.
