Zac is very 90’s- saves by the bell
Arthur- is an old mans name
Dexter- Fletcher. Really sill dislike this
Harry- best of a bad bunch, so over used now.

Thank you everyone - very interesting! Seems that Harry isn't very popular on here then.

Zachary doesn't go with the surname so would have to be Zac

Our top choice is probably Arthur at the moment but find boys names very tricky...

For those who hate them all - what would you choose? Interested to hear suggestions!

I only like Zac if it’s short for something. If Zachary doesn’t go with your name how about Isaac?

What about Patrick? Best boys name ever imo.

GeorgiaGirl52 · 03/08/2019 07:18

Zac

Phimma · 03/08/2019 07:38

Rudi ?

Phimma · 03/08/2019 07:38

Oops sorry, wrong thread.

MyNewBearTotoro · 03/08/2019 09:22

If Zachary doesn’t work Zac could be short for Isaac, or Zachariah.

Other names - Elijah/ Eli, Reuben, Percy, Rowan, Albert (nn Albie or Bertie), Joel, Felix.

I like Arthur and harry. Am so surprised at so many people liking Zac.

PinkFlamingo888 · 03/08/2019 10:26

I like them all, I do think Harry is a bit over used though and I probably wouldn’t use it. Arthur was my favourite for a long time and I do still really like it. I love Zac as well but as others have said I prefer a long name on bc, maybe Isaac if you don’t want Zachary? I think Dexter is really cool, only know if 1 as well.

Bumbags · 03/08/2019 10:29

Definitely Zac

kazza446 · 03/08/2019 10:31

I have a Zach and a Harry both boys are a lovely temperament. Zach is so chilled and laid back. Harry is so caring!! I know a dexter too! All lovely names. Go with what you like op, don’t let others sway you. I have a little girl who i wanted to call Maisie. I made the mistake of telling people and someone commented lazy Maisie. It completely put me off so I chose another name. I really wish I hadn’t now!

Pippilangstrumpfi · 03/08/2019 11:23

I like Dexter.

Harry is soo overused, Zach sounds like Sack and comical imo (I like Zachary) and Arthur might end up as Artie (Fartie).

Pippilangstrumpfi · 03/08/2019 11:25

Other ideas: Reuben, Rowan, Xavier. Quentin, Connor.

Not Dexter. It’s a breed of cow.

Changedname81 · 04/08/2019 11:59

Dexter Grin

Switchsplash · 04/08/2019 20:49

Isaac is an amazing name. Good luck with your lovely little boy.

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 04/08/2019 20:57

Zach with an H. Zack with a K is a little shit. Isaac is a good choice if you don't want Zachary.

Dexter also good.
