Too similar?

[whattocallmybaby]

DS is Jacob (maybe Jake in the future, who knows). Are Jake and Zach too similar? I imagine shouting the names out in a park, or dangerous situation, they may not know which one I’m shouting after.

Would you go for Zach, Zack or a longer spelling? Zachary?

Not at all they go rather nice together

I agree with flamingos, Jacob and Zachary (or Jake and Zach) sound good together.

They sound good together 👍

Oh really?! Amazing! It’s the only name DP and I both like, but I was worried it was too samey with the hard ‘kuh’ sound (iykwim, I can’t describe sounds). Thank you

sound fine together, not too similar at all

They don’t sound similar to me. I’d go for Zachary on the birth certificate with Zach as a nn.

I agree with PP Jake and Zach sound good together. I'd go for Zachery on the birth certificate with Zach as a nn

You’re all lovely, thanks for your help 😊

I agree with everyone else, they are nice together.

I'd probably put Zachary on the BC.

They go well together!

Yep, they're fine. Zachary on birth certificate.

It's the vowel sound that travels the most so they will be able to tell if you're shouting them based on the 'ay' sounds got Jake or the 'ah' sound for Zach.

Oh and I like both spellings but prefer Zachariah to Zachary. But again both are great!

Sorry that was meant to say the 'ay' sound for Jake

I know siblings called Zach and Jacob!

They pair well together.

I agree, they're good together

Great names which go well together (both Biblical prophets and the names sound nice as a pair).

My friend has a Jake and a zack. I also have a Joshua and Joseph

Unanimous! Thank you all so much.

I know of two brothers who are Jake and Zach. They go nicely together without being to similar

DS2 is Zachary (Zach) Jacob

Good name choices 😉
