Is Sgaire a popular name in Scotland?

[Jedimastermama]

I love the name Zackary, my partner prefers the Scottish spelling of the name.

Ive not come across it until now.

Would like your thoughts please.

Thanks

Never heard it, wouldn’t know how to pronounce it, and definitely wouldn’t pronounce it like Zachary.

No, and I wouldn't even know how to pronounce it

Never heard of it either

People will pronounce it "sgarey" to rhyme with scary.

Never heard of it.

Never heard of it

What? Is it like Sigard? Plenty of those in the north, north.

Glaswegian living in the NE and have lived in the central highlands and never heard it

Glaswegian here - is it a typo?

No, don't do it.
Even Balonz is better than that.

Why on earth would you burden a child with a name a) no one can pronounce b) he'd have to spell on an almost daily basis

That's a really really stupid, attention seeking thing to do

Never heard of it.

Sorry - the stupidity is your husband's, not yours!

Nope

Just go with Zachary (show your husband these responses).

It looks ugly and I'm sure most people would not know how to pronounce it.

Just googled how it’s pronounced “Skarra” apparently.

Never heard of it! Have been all over Scotland from St Kilda to Hawick and never come across it! What about Innes if wanting an lesser used Scottish name?

Skarra sounds nothing like Zachary so your dh is wrong.

Never heard of it. There's nothing worse than a kid growing up with a name nobody's ever heard of and the poor thing has to continually spell it. At least with Zackary it wouldn't have to do that

Never heard of that one.

Scottish
Never heard of it (paediatrician so I hear lots of bling bling names
Not a fan

Maybe in Scotland, Georgia!

Are either of you Scottish or speak Gaelic or live in Scotland?

From the Scottish Borders, now lived in Edinburgh for several years - never seen that before and I work in schools so come across many many names. I'd imagine he'd have a life time explaining/spelling it.
