Two names starting with Z for a boy and a girl?

We have a boy called Zach, we are expecting a girl soon. My partner and I are having trouble picking names for a girl we’re both very fussy.
he really likes very few, one of the names he prefers the most is Zara. I said it might be cringe with the two z’s he said that it wasn’t even planned about the z’s he just seen the name and actually really liked it.
so it would be Zach and Zara. I do love the name too. Just worried it’s to similar to Zach? If we go on to have a third, that baby definitely won’t have a name with Z. It’s not meant to be a family theme at all. We just like the name and it looks planned but it isn’t. Would it be strange down the line having Zach, Zara and a child with a completely different name and letter then?
whar do you think? I’m torn because I really like it too. I worry it will be judged and seen as intentional or cringe to others.

I have a Zahra, and liked Zachary, but DS was born before I liked Zachary. I wouldn’t have had 2 Z names

I think it sets up for unnecessary confusion in schools or letters addressed to Z.Smith.

I think it's fine. Our family have names all starting with the same letter.
