We like the name Zayne a lot. Our surname is Reckstatt.
Does it sound funny ? .. Zayne like sane...Sane Reck..?
Another name we like is Blake .
Do you her the word “crack” if you say Blake Reckstatt?
Help????!!!!

I am not keen on Blake. Prefer Zayne.

I love the fact you've decided your next din will be called Xavier but you are posting daily on here looking for help naming, I assume, your first son?! Grin
Why not use Xavier?! Just a thought

*son

I'd spell it Zayn. Xavier is nice but you will hear it pronounces Ex-avier, Zavier and Zavvier.
How about Xerxes?

.... and I’m wondering why you’re all worried about a ‘catholic sounding name’?!?! You wouldn’t like it?
Would you say
“I hope it’s not black sounding, I wouldn’t like that!”
Or Asian
?
Such casual bigotry!

I wouldn't assume that a Xavier was a catholic, but I would reject it because of the possibility of the pronunciation being a bit undecided. Also, Xander is quite popular now so it might be a bit trendy.

With the greatest of respect Lara, your posts are all very garbled. It feels like you’re going out of your way to find a ‘cool’ name but if you’re not careful it’s going to end up...umm...giving a different impression.
I don’t understand why you are manically searching for a name for DS1 when you have already outlined a name for DS2?? Why not just use that? I hope you find what you’re looking for. Friendly tip, change your name if you decide to post again or people are going to stop taking you seriously.

I’d spell it Zane. Ethan Reckstatt sounds better though.

I think Zane is a bit too Zany. Zayn is a muslim name.
If you already have a name lined up for DS2 but not one for DS1, aren't you jumping the gun a bit?
