My short list is:

Xander Nathaniel
Zachary Daniel
Jude Gordon
Luca Davey

All middle names are family names - but feel free to interchange them as you see fit.

Thank you!

Zachary Daniel or Zachary David.

It’s not David it’s Davey, which is my FIL’s name :)

I promise you I chose Zachary Daniel before I read the thread. It stands out from the others, it’s great.

Zachary Gordon is also great.

Zachary Daniel or Zachary Nathaniel.

Xander - not unless short for Alexander
Zachary - like but only like Zac as a short version
Jude - no
Luca - no

middle name - Daniel, others are OK.

I love Zachary Daniel - fantastic name! That would be my pick. Luca Davey or Xander Nathaniel would be my second choices.

GiddyCrab · 26/03/2025 22:07

Zachary Daniel or Zachary David.

Zachary Daniel

Luca with any of the middle names!

shoopshoopdedoo · 26/03/2025 21:23

Zachary is my favourite of the first name options, but I love Alexander - could be Xander - and I like Daniel, David and Gordon as first names. So, basically any combination of those…

Zachary Gordon
Alexander Gordon
Daniel Gordon
David Gordon
Gordon David

Edit - sorry, ignore the Alexander bit! And the bit about swapping them around! Was typing as you posted your update. Based on that, I’d go with Zachary Gordon but any of the middle names work.

Thank you!
As we have chosen family names, we can’t swap them round - (for example, Nathaniel is my husband’s name! And the rest are all close family member's names)

Also (and this is to help future commenters) we won’t be using Alexander, the full name will be Xander. Neither of us are big fans of Alexander as a name - but obviously love Xander.

They are all good names!

I think I like the name Zachary Daniel the most, and then Jude Gordon.
Zachary Gordon is nice too.
