What about this for a boy? Any fans of the name?

Yep, DS1's name Grin

I don't like it, especially the short forms Zac/Zak - sounds so harsh and unfinished.

NoDontLickThat · 15/03/2012 16:12

I love the full name, but I also quite like Zak for a nickname too.

Love it.

I love it. Was supposed to be DS's name, but I forgot after my horrible birth and too much medication so DH got in with his choice.

HeidiHole · 16/03/2012 10:33

I think thats a lovely name

AllDirections · 16/03/2012 10:36

Love the name.

I was going to use it for DC2 & 3 but they're DDs :o

Love it, Rachel I know what you mean but no-one ever says that about Jack, a very similar name. Also think you could soften the shortened version with an 'h' to Zach.

rachel234 · 18/03/2012 22:12

I quite like Zachary or Zacharias but dislike Zac - it sounds like Sack.

FilterCoffee · 18/03/2012 23:08

I like it.

hubbahubster · 19/03/2012 08:57

I've got one so I love it :) he's Zach for short. I like the fact that there's only one nn unlike something like William, so he won't end up being called something I don't like! My name has more than one nn and some people just don't understand that I hate being called by one of them...

madasahattermummy · 21/03/2012 10:40

i love it ! if my bumps a boy its his name " Zachary Gene "

squoosh · 21/03/2012 10:46

What about Zaccheus? That's the Zac name that no one ever mentions.

FilterCoffee · 21/03/2012 11:56

Zaccheus is fab, love it :)

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 21/03/2012 12:07
