So I decided very early on in my pregnancy that my son would be called Zachary. My husband was not crazy about the name initially but he's since grown to like it. I'm due any day now and I'm having a massive wobble!

Other names I really like are Jack and William. I love Alexander but we've got a close relative with the same name.

I think I generally like strong, traditional names and that's why I might not be completely in love with Zachary anymore? I feel like it might be just slightly to Americanised for me now. I still think it's beautiful, just not what I'm going for.

Any suggestions of strong, traditional boys names for me in the eleventh hour!?

So, after spending hours going through what feels like every baby name list on the internet, we've settled back on Zachary 🤦‍♀️ I think what happened was that it's been so long since I chose the name, that I had forgotten why we'd gone for it to begin with. Which is essentially that after imagining using literally every other name - Zachary comes out on top.

DH is happy with Zachary too. Just a wobble in the end!

Go with Zachary! It's the best suggestion on here.
Good luck x

I love Jack so I'm with your DH.
I'd find it harder to go with a name DH didn't also really like.

Zachary is a lovely name!
