help! baby no 3 name ideas?

[Zachmeister]

I already have 2 children, Zach and Zara, now pregnant with wee surprise. I am worried that continuing the Z theme may sound a bit cheesey? Although quite like Zander or Zane for a boy...although I think I might prefer just going for Jude! Undecided on girls...Carla? Carmen or Zoe?

Help completely stumped!

I like Zander and Jude for a boy and Carmen for a girl. I wouldn't give my children names beginning with the same letter to avoid confusion with post, but it's up to you, you've started. I knew a family who all had names beginning with J (two parents, two kids). They called their house 'The Jays'!

I wouldn't worry aboit continuing the z theme unless yoi happen to really like the names. Jude and Carla are good names and work well with your other children's names.

you could have Xander or Alexander with Xander for short and it looks like a happy coincidence

Otherwise I also like Jude and all the girls names are nice though get the feeling Zoe has been added for theme potential only...

I think I'd avoid another Z unless you're in love with it. I think Zander almost rhymes with Zara and doesn't sound right, and same for Carla. Jude goes nicely, and so does Carmen.

how about Zen? (I love this name)
I think if you already have two children with the same unusual letter why not continue if you like a name?

I once worked with a woman called Zillah

Xander maybe?

Maybe a name not starting with the letter z, but a name containing that sound?
Xanthe
Daisy
Maisie
Azalea
It would still feel tied in without boxing you in quite as much as far as options go.

some one on an other thread mentioned Zinnia for agirl

Thanks for all your suggestions! I'm quite keen to just embrace another letter of the Alphabet although I do like Xanthe - the sound of the name sounds much prettier than the spelling...maybe it's because we're not used to X words in English much xxx

I know a Zavia for a girl and think it's a lovely name. Also like Zander for boy x

What about Eliza for a girl? You still have that Z sound then.

I like the idea of all the Zs.

Zoe is a lovely name imo. A few other Z names for girls:
Zinaida
Zoya
Zipporah

I prefer Zane to Zander. The Z in Zander looks as if you are trying too hard to make Xander a Z name just to have three Zs.

I'd keep going with the Zs. Purely because I know a family who have a Lorna, Lewis, Leo... and Claire. She does mind!

Zoe is a stunning name. I know a (male!) Zine which I prefer to Zane. Agree with pp that Zander looks like you fudged Xander. How about Zeke?

Zoe or Zinnia
Zander or Zephyr
