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!

I prefer Zachary Daniel.

caringcarer · 27/03/2025 23:15

I like Luca Zachary.

How many syllables in the surname??? This is how it will sound day to day. The sound of the 1st and middle name is almost irrelevant, because 99% of the the time it will be first and surname.

I’ve short listed all of the above names knowing that I personally like them with the surname! I just wanted to get people’s opinions on which names they like best from above :)

I like Zachary Gordon or Luca Gordon.

Try each first name with the surname but without the middle name.

Xander Clarke
Zac Clarke - Zac Lark
Jude Clarke - doesn;t flow
Luca Clarke - too many Cs and sounds like cack

I thought it might not be but I used it because how the first name sounds with the surname is more important than how it flows with the middle name.

They are all lovely in any combination.
one of my sons middle name is Daniel and DS3 is Lucas, but was almost Luca
i think Zachary Daniel edges it for me.

gerimander · 29/03/2025 13:46

Zachary Jude is my favourite

Sojo88 · 29/03/2025 13:47

Zachary Daniel - both lovely names!
