Just Zeb, not short for Zebedee, or is it too unusual? Or are there any other boys names starting with Z that you like?

Well there's:
Zachariah
Zachary

I like Zane and Zeke.

There's also Zack / Zachary and its variations which are lovely names but for my personal tastes very popular.

I have a Zachary but we call him Zed.

I like Zach, there is Zev (or Ze'ev) too and Zain / Zane (a bit too Lego Ninjago now though)

DD went to nursery with a Zigor who was Russian. I thought it was a great name.

why would you call your son 'Zed'? sorry but all i can think of is Pulp Fiction.
if you like Zeb, go with it, i did know another but he would be about 20 by now.

Zavier? Zav or Zavvy NN...

frasier · 10/04/2018 21:45

Zander

I know a Zippety Blimey Doodah Smith

He goes by Zed.

You could put Eks-Wai on the birth certificate and use the nn Zed.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/04/2018 21:46

I know a very lovely Zoran.

LoveInTokyo · 10/04/2018 21:47

I wouldn’t spell Xander or Xavier with a Z, it just makes you look illiterate.

OlennasWimple · 10/04/2018 21:48

Xander has the same sound as names that start with a Z, as does Xavier

Zack / Zac / Zach / Zecheriah

Zene / Zain

I love Zephaniah

Zadoc

Zeus

Zetes

LoveInTokyo Ironically, Zander is an Arabic name that means “smart, intelligent and compassionate”.

Zander to me is a fish.

Thanks! I love Xavier (even more when spelt Javier) and Zander, but sadly I'm alone on that. Zeb was inspired by radio 4's Zeb Soanes and his soothingly deep voice!
