Two names starting with Z for a boy and a girl?

We have a boy called Zach, we are expecting a girl soon. My partner and I are having trouble picking names for a girl we’re both very fussy.
he really likes very few, one of the names he prefers the most is Zara. I said it might be cringe with the two z’s he said that it wasn’t even planned about the z’s he just seen the name and actually really liked it.
so it would be Zach and Zara. I do love the name too. Just worried it’s to similar to Zach? If we go on to have a third, that baby definitely won’t have a name with Z. It’s not meant to be a family theme at all. We just like the name and it looks planned but it isn’t. Would it be strange down the line having Zach, Zara and a child with a completely different name and letter then?
whar do you think? I’m torn because I really like it too. I worry it will be judged and seen as intentional or cringe to others.

ZEUS & ZENA

Go big or go home!

I was going to say Zeus and Zoe, and also if you commit to two Zs then you’ll have to stick with it for a third. Changing it would be odder than keeping to the theme IMO.

You could do Zeek (Ezekiel) and Zara, so post eventually comes with a Z and an E to distinguish.

Op I posted on your thread before with a silly xyz comment. Zara is a gorgeous name use it if you love it. A lifetime with a good name that happens to have the same initial as her brother is better than a compromise name for life. X

If you were to have a third I really couldn’t have two with a Z and one without. Just seems so wrong in my mind! How about Sara, Kara or Lara?
