Isaac Zachary?

[FN23]

Thoughts on the name Isaac Zachary? Surname is two syllables beginning with a hard C if it helps. My husband and I both like the flow of the name but he's worried we would be calling our child Zac Zachary. Not adverse to the nickname Zac at all so could happen but I'm not convinced it's a problem. Want to keep our names a secret from family and friends so can't ask them what they think. Thanks!

The only Isaac I know goes by Ike fwiw. I dunno. They just seem too similar to me.

My Isaac isn’t shortened to Zac either - he gets Isey or I - no one has ever even suggested Zac 🤷‍♀️

Emphasise the 'I' sound followed by a soft 'zuk'.

That could sound a little like I suck

The S sound in Isaac is more like a Z so that wouldn't happen. I did say the second syllable would be understated ie not emphasised so about the opposite of a northern spoken 'zuk'.

Anyway, I like Isaac and Zachary goes fine for a middle name as it doesn't matter.
