Zachary or Joshua

[Mj10]

Hi all.
Really interested in your opinions on the 2 names. The little guy is 5 days old and we are struggling to settle on the name. We like both but we wonder if zachary is a bit naff and if joshua is a bit 90s. Our surname begins with J so Joshua J does have a ring. Boys names are so hard and such an important decision. Be interested to know your views on which one is more favourable. Thanks!

I love Jesse! I started a thread on it the other day. It's my favourite of the three names.

1st- Zachary (ok)
2- Joshua/Jesse ( can't decide if I like either)

My 4 month old boy twin is called Zachary, though we call him Zach most of the time.

I love Joshua (and Josh) it was top of my list but dh said no. I also like Zachary but dislike Jesse. Don't panic, you still have plenty of time. Try using one name at a time for a few days each and see if that helps (rather than trying them all out at the same time iyswim). Congratulations!

It will be Zack or Josh as nn. Both overused.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Really interesting to get your views! Boys names are such a minefield!

They're both great names. As I know many more Joshuas/Joshes than I do Zachary/Zacs, I'd pick Zachary.
