Hello everyone,

I am struggling to come to a final decision for my son’s name, the father wants Elias + Grant as his middle names as his middle name is Grant and he likes the name Elias. I am choosing his first name, but I am torn between the 3 i have written in the title. Zander Elias Grant, Zachary Elias Grant or Zachariah Grant Elias. I like that Zachariah isn’t as popular, as I do like to be different. I just don’t know if it flows as nicely as the other two names, I want the middle names to flow even though they’re not used or said as often as the first + last names.

Not convinced Zachariah works so personally I’d rule it out. How about Zachary Grant Elias? Also how does the surname fit, how many syllables?
