Zachary with our surname...

Dh and I like the name Zachary, but I am worried about having a harsh 'c' or 'k' sound anywhere near our surname (replace the first letter of our surname with a 'c' and you get a very rude four letter word).

Dh says the swear word doesn't naturally occur unless forced but I'm unsure. What do you think?

Owen hunt is a main character in Grey’s Anatomy. Probably doesn’t matter but just so you know!

Aiden and Samuel are both lovely names.

Aidan is better.

Yes, I prefer the Aidan spelling too.

I've never watched Grey's anatomy so good to know!
Yes I wasn't sure between Aiden and Aidan. I seem to revert to the Aiden spelling but have looked it up and Aidan seems to be the more traditional/ original way of spelling. I've grown up having to say "with a 'y' not 'ie'" when giving my name, so don't know if it'll be annoying for them to have to say "'an' not 'en'". Which one do you think people would most commonly write?

Whichever is the wrong one!

Ha probably!

I have an Aidan and Finn. I prefer the Aidan spelling but he often gets Aiden in cards from family and friends and even on letters from his school. Still glad I went with the traditional spelling though
