We are settled on a name but not on the middle name.

Zachary Luke Smith

Or

Zachary Ethan Smith

I wasnt sure whether having two bibical names was abit odd?

I prefer Zachary Luke

Zachary Luke

Zachary Luke.

MrsHathaway · 04/01/2017 20:31

Both options are Biblical, aren't they? Not heavily. I don't think that's an issue.

Prefer Luke. More people should use Luke, it's very strong.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 04/01/2017 20:31

Zachary Luke

LobsterQuadrille · 04/01/2017 20:32

Zachary Luke. It flows much more smoothly.

BikeRunSki · 04/01/2017 20:32

Luke

SoftBlocks · 04/01/2017 20:33

Prefer Luke to Ethan but as a whole name Zachary Ethan Smith flows better.

BobbieDog · 04/01/2017 20:33

Ethan isnt bibical but Luke and Zachary are.

I just wasnt sure whether Zach Luke Smith sounded right even though the full name will be Zachary but he will be Zach day to day

Luke

RenovatingHouseWithKids · 04/01/2017 20:36

I think Luke too. If he's saying his full name it's more likely he'll be saying 'Zachary Luke Smith' than 'zach Luke smith', I imagine.

EmmaC78 · 04/01/2017 20:37

I prefer Luke too.

ApplesOranges · 04/01/2017 20:50

Ethan is a biblical name
It is Hebrew and appears numerous times in the Old Testament
Both options are nice

OutnumberedByFurchesters · 04/01/2017 20:52

Luke :)

MrsHathaway · 04/01/2017 20:53

I think you only ever say your middle name when you say your full name.

Zachary Ethan is hard to say because of the two ee sounds together.

buttercup54321 · 04/01/2017 21:39

Luke is much better

piginboots · 04/01/2017 21:41

Zachary Luke

DramaAlpaca · 04/01/2017 22:03

Another vote for Zachary Luke.

SausageSoda · 04/01/2017 22:42

Another vote for Luke as middle name

ViewBasket · 04/01/2017 22:55

I really like both names, but I think Luke fits better with the first name and surname.

Ethan Zachary would be nice though...
