Zayne is better than Blake with that surname because there is less sound repetition.

Well there will only ever be one Zayne Reckstatt and you will probably only need Zayne in his clothes label for school.

It's quite a big name. Quite out there.

My friends Son is Zayne spelt Xayn!

horatioisabrick · 18/12/2017 23:44

Zayne is fine! :)

I also like Zane, Cole, Zachary and Blaise.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/12/2017 06:11

Sounds petty, but I prefer this spelling;
Zayn Reckstatt.
Very cool name, I like it ! 😎
Also like Jett Reckstatt.

OOh, Cole is lovely!

Potteryprincess30 · 19/12/2017 14:28

I really love Blake! Especially with your surname

CrestedTit · 19/12/2017 16:52

I like it.

eggandchips5 · 19/12/2017 16:54

That helped a lot . THANK YOU. We will probably go for Blake. Do you think it is a timeless name, is the name chavy????
Does Blake go with Sibling Xavier ????
( Xavier would be maybe for our next son if we get one more son)

Zayne goes better with Xavier

TatianaLarina · 28/12/2017 23:33

Much prefer Zayne to Blake and it goes better with Xavier. What about Zach Reckstatt?

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/12/2017 04:04

Zayne is much nicer, or Zach.

flumpybear · 29/12/2017 04:30

Very 'hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' .... not a bad thing either lol 😆

horatioisabrick · 29/12/2017 09:26

Blake is nice but Blake Reckstatt sounds very harsh....

Liloslilo · 29/12/2017 09:34

Really dislike Blake, it’s not in the same league as Zayne or Xavier imo! Why not use Xavier this time around?

Thank you!!! Do you think of Xavier as a very religious name? I now it’s origin is religious ...but how is it perceived? Do you think of it immediately as “ a catholic name”
I would not like that ...

We like Ethan as well .... but maybe Ethan is to “normal” for us ... 🤔

I’d be somewhat surprised if someone with very strong ‘anti-Christian’ or ‘anti-Catholic’ views used that name. But I wouldn’t assume that the parents were Catholic, Christian or even religious.

(It is however more of a Catholic than e.g. an Evangelical name, I guess.)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 29/12/2017 15:22

Ethan is also nice.

I like Zayne although I'd probs spell it Zayn.
I also like Xander / Zander, Xavier, Blake and Blair?

scrivette · 29/12/2017 21:55

I prefer your other two names over Blake.

ClinkyMonkey · 29/12/2017 23:32

Zayne Reckstatt is wonderful. He just has to be famous with that name.
