Zachary or Michael

[Jleome]

The question is in the title. What name out of these two would you prefer for a baby?

[KangarooKenny]

Michael, and I’d shorten it to Mikey.

[Happyhippy99]

Michael. Beautiful name and timeless..

[17caterpillars1mouse]

I really like both. Zachary is much more popular though and with the popularity of Isaac too which is often shortened to Zak I would go with Michael.

I knew a 3 year old Michael a few years ago (he'd probably be 7 or 8 now) and he was adorable and made me see the name in a new light.

[Snowiscold]

[Luredbyapomegranate]

Michael

I like it more but also Zachary is getting quite popular whereas Micheal is v underused

[ExecutiveStrategyCoordinator]

Zachary.
Michael is so seventies/eighties.

[lljkk]

I have one & the other is nice, too <no help at all>.

[Hohofortherobbers]

Both, Michael Zachary, as long as your surname is fairly short I think this flows nicely as a first name, middle name

[DramaAlpaca]

Michael, definitely

[KirstenBlest]

Michael, definitely. Always liked it.
Zachary is nice but currently popular and has the Zac/Zach/Zak issue.

We have a Michael in the family and he is Michael, or a nn (not Mike/Mick but something different)

[Lealea4]

I love them both but I would prefer Zachary

[MintJulia]

[Derrymum123]

Michael.

[RuthW]

Michael

[RandomMusings7]

Zachary

Michael is a little boring and doesn't have the same ring to it

[MrsCat1]

Michael. Lovely name.

[Purplemagnolias]

Michael

Zachary is starting to sound dated. And Zach sounds like Sack.
