Henry or Zachary to go with Alexandra & Aurora?

[CupcakesAndFizz]

Am at wits end and out of time! Baby is here tomorrow! I love classic names that are strong and straightforward, and am not overly worried about popularity. I love Henry and would be v happy shortening it to Harry, husband loves Zachary, with us both preferring Zac/Zach. His sisters are Alexandra (which we tend not to shorten, her preference) and Aurora, who is always Rory. It suits her cheeky personality!

What I'm wondering is, Henry passes the 'high court judge' test, but I'm much more unfamiliar with Zachary. I mean, is it considered classic, or might he be judged in the future with this name on his cv? Is it considered a Jewish name? Is it less well thought of/ chavvy or becoming so?

Middle name would be Simon after a grandfather:
Henry Simon
Zachary Simon
?

Any thoughts so welcome at this point! Always says naming a boy after two girls would be easy, how wrong was I?!

I like Zachary and think it goes well with your other children's names. My DS2 is called Ezra, which I think is considered a Jewish name, but no one has ever mentioned it. We're not religious

Henry is also nice but don't think it "goes" as well.

^Oh meaning it's a bad thing?

Baby names is always an eye-opener smile^

fidle1ne I didn't mean that biblical names were good or bad, just pointing out that many commonly used names have biblical origins, in order to assure the OP that there was nothing wrong with biblical names. I am sorry that I have been misinterpreted.

I think some biblical names have crossed over into the mainstream more than others though...

Hear Sarah or Adam and your first thought isn't oh thats biblical/Jewish, whereas it might be with Micah or Lazarus say.

Not that, that in itself is a 'bad thing' but it is an association.

YY Lottie, it's a 'flavour' to the name, but on a scale.

Henry

Good luck
