Help me pick my boy name

[MillieClarke]

My short list is:

Xander Nathaniel
Zachary Daniel
Jude Gordon
Luca Davey

All middle names are family names - but feel free to interchange them as you see fit.

Thank you!

They are all good names!

I think I like the name Zachary Daniel the most, and then Jude Gordon.
Zachary Gordon is nice too.

Jude Nathaniel

Xander Nathaniel
Luca Nathaniel

Thank you!
As we have chosen family names, we can’t swap them round - (for example, Nathaniel is my husband’s name! And the rest are all close family member's names)

Also (and this is to help future commenters) we won’t be using Alexander, the full name will be Xander. Neither of us are big fans of Alexander as a name - but obviously love Xander.

Zachary is my favourite of the first name options, but I love Alexander - could be Xander - and I like Daniel, David and Gordon as first names. So, basically any combination of those…

Zachary Gordon
Alexander Gordon
Daniel Gordon
David Gordon
Gordon David

Edit - sorry, ignore the Alexander bit! And the bit about swapping them around! Was typing as you posted your update. Based on that, I’d go with Zachary Gordon but any of the middle names work.

Luca with any of the middle names!

Zachary Daniel

Zachary Daniel or Zachary David.

I love Zachary Daniel - fantastic name! That would be my pick. Luca Davey or Xander Nathaniel would be my second choices.

Luca Nathaniel

Zachary Daniel or Zachary Davey

Xander - not unless short for Alexander
Zachary - like but only like Zac as a short version
Jude - no
Luca - no

middle name - Daniel, others are OK.

Zachary Daniel or Zachary Nathaniel.

I promise you I chose Zachary Daniel before I read the thread. It stands out from the others, it’s great.

Zachary Gordon is also great.

It’s not David it’s Davey, which is my FIL’s name :)

Xander Nathaniel

Xander is my favourite, followed my Zachary.

Luca is very trendy, so will date poorly - that would rule that out for me. I personally hate nicknames as proper names so wouldn't go with Xander, but appreciate that doesn't apply to you.

I think Zachary is the stand out first name. Zachary Daniel is brilliant, however I think it actually works with all of the middle names, so would just choose the one that means the most.

Zachary Daniel

I like Xander Daniel. We have a Xander next door and he is lovely.

I like your choices, good names, in order of my preference:

Jude Nathaniel
Xander Davey
Zachary Gordon

I loved Luca about 15 years ago but I've gone off it a bit, I knew a couple that sprung up back then so I associate it with 15 years ago, but that might be very localised to me!

My faves, in preference order ..

Zachary Gordon
Xander Davey
Zachary Daniel

I like Jude Daniel myself

Zachary or Luca Daniel
