Which name would you pick? See poll!

DS2 due any day and we still can’t decide! Which name from this shortlist would you pick? (DS1 is Zachary, nn.Zach sometimes)
(Reasons also welcomed :)
Thanks! x

I voted for Jacob, as it's my favourite of the 5. Zachary and Jacob make for a very classic pairing.

My next choice would be Sebastian. I'm not really that keen on Sebastian as a full name, personally, but I think Zach and Seb go really well together, if this is what they'll be known as day to day? Both very cool short forms.

Casper and Felix are ok but not really my cup of tea. I don't like Otis at all.

Love Otis (Redding), like Sebastian (Flyte), dislike Jacob and Casper (ghost, friendly or otherwise), and Felix is a cat.

I like Casper and Otis.

I don’t think any kids associate it with Casper the ghost anymore and also it’s common enough for it not to be.

Not a fan of Jacob at all and although I like Felix it has a very strong feline vibe! As @BoleynMemories13 says Sebastian goes well with Zachary. Sebastian for me.

Outlier here but my second cousin is called Zachary and his older brother is Rupert. Have you heard of Cassius? He’s the younger brother of a friend of mine (Adrian).

Cassius name I mean

lol yes my last cat was called Felix.

I voted Casper. It goes well with Zachary I think.

Sebastian - I don't like it. Seb makes me think of seborrhoea and sebum
Otis - lifts. Name seems really wet
Jacob - fine if you like Jake
Casper - Casper or Caspar? OK otherwise
Felix - 🐈

So you don’t like any of them?! 😅

love them all except Sebastian. But seems I’m in the minority.

Felix is a great name. Caspar is also good.

Otis is a bit trendy for me. Jacob fine. Sebastian is good for a middle name but i dislike Seb.

I'd go for Felix with Sebastian as a middle name.

I’ve heard of quite a few Otis’ through young nephews school friends.

I've always loved Sebastian but it's not everyone's cup of tea. But who cares? It's a good solid, traditional name. As is Jacob/Jake. Zach and Seb and Zach and Jake are equally good
Felix is OK. I'm not keen on Otis or Caspar. I do like Caspian though.
I also really like Joel, and Joe would go well with Zach. I also met a little Adam the other day, which is another great name.

I voted Sebastian. I wanted this for my son but my husband didn’t so we agreed on another name we both liked. His friends at school found out he was going to be called Seb and it stuck. His nickname was Seb all through the school years!

I think you'll find that Felix is actually a Stray Kid. 😀😍

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain I think they're OK in that they're not awful , apart from Otis.
I voted Jacob.

Sebastian is a bit 'used to be posh but isn't posh at all now'. I know a Felix my age and it seemed a bit of a silly name when i was young. Jacob is fine. Caspar is quite nice but there are at least 2 different spellings.
I like Zachary but only like the Zac spelling for the diminutive.

Jacob goes with Zachary.

Joel and Caspian are lovely.

I picked Jacob as I think it goes best with Zachary, and I like the Zach and Jake pairing.

I also really like Otis.

As I would have known if I’d only consulted the teenagers in my life 😊

Jacob was at the top of our list of baby had been a boy. Strong handsome name

I voted for Jacob.
To me Otis is a dogs name.
I dislike Sebastian.
Felix is ok if you can get over the cat association which is very strong.
Casper isn’t to my liking, no reason just not keen.

Never heard of Otis as a dogs name.
