Dexter Zachary or Zachary Dexter?

[user1463996941]

I'm expecting my first baby boy in September and I have already chosen my 2 favorite names. I just can't decide what way round I prefer. I think I'm leaning slightly towards Dexter Zachary. What is everyone's opinion?

I'd take the "symmetrical syllable approach", so either 2-3-2 or 3-2-3.
If your surname is Johnson (2 syllables) it would be Dexter Zachary Johnson.
If it's 3 syllables like Iverson it would be Zachary Dexter Iverson.

If your surname's one syllable, do what you like!
Congratulations anyway.

It is more important that the name most usually used goes well with the surname, because the middle name is almost never said out loud as part of the whole name. Just in court or at your wedding!
I presume your surname is not Exeter, for example?

Ease off criticizing the OP: it was a mulling over, not a referendum.

But Boaty McBoatface was clearly the most popular choice!

Although I prefer Dexter to Zachary. Zachary Dexter flows better than Dexter Zachary.
If I had to swear on oath though I don't think they really go together either way, but that's just my opinion. Not a fact

Exactly. Posters aren't obliged to do what responders tell them.

I can only see Dachary Zexter for some reason

LOL at Doc
