Brother for Zachary

Boy Names
1

We’re having a really difficult time choosing a name for our second son. We have a shortlist, but we’re not really convinced that any one of these names is THE ONE. We also don’t know what to do for a middle name.

[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] - would be [name_u]Teddy[/name_u]/Ted for nn
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Calum[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] - would like [name_m]Alec[/name_m] for a nn, but will most people pronounce it [name_u]Alex[/name_u]?
[name_u]Kyle[/name_u]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m]
[name_u]Cary[/name_u] -

Suggestions are welcome.

My favorite from your list is [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], but stylistically I feel [name_m]Calum[/name_m], [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], [name_u]Kyle[/name_u] and [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] would work best with [name_m]Zachary[/name_m]. I don’t think nn [name_m]Alec[/name_m] for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] would be a problem, and I prefer it over [name_u]Alex[/name_u] too.

Combo ideas:
[name_m]Calum[/name_m] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Calum[/name_m] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Kyle[/name_u]
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_u]Cary[/name_u]
[name_u]Kyle[/name_u] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]
[name_u]Kyle[/name_u] [name_m]Theodore[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Calum[/name_m]
[name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_u]Noah[/name_u]

Other suggestions:
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Ethan[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Brandon[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_u]Emerson[/name_u]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_u]Tyler[/name_u]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Connor[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Gavin[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Nolan[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Tanner[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Callan[/name_m]
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_u]Brennan[/name_u]

Good luck!

Thanks for the replies.

We’re now leaning towards [name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m].

Friends suggest we should spell the first name with a double L.

[name_m]Callum[/name_m] [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] sounds really good! And comes with the easy, cool nickname [name_u]Cal[/name_u] if you want. I think it goes nicely with [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] too. I agree with your friends that you should spell it with two L’s.
