Zachary or Zander

Boy Names

I’d appreciate your opinions on these choices :slightly_smiling_face:
PLEASE … for those who hate on Zander spelled with a “Z” – just pretend that it’s spelled with an X, or vote based on sound alone not spelling.

Could you also please rate the names and/or provide feedback in comments. Any feedback (aside from the spelling) is welcome! Thanks so much!

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] ‘Zander’ are both nice but I just really love Zachary! It’s such a handsome name, and I love that it’s classic but still seems fresh and cool.

I love Zander! I think it’s very handsome and cool, and I like the sound. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zander[/name_m] is great too, especially if you’d like more nickname options in the future.
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] is nice, but it feels a bit dated and overused to me!

Either [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zander[/name_m] OR Zachary. I’d vote for both if I could.

[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is a nice but the ones I know put me off the name.

I love Zander! [name_f]My[/name_f] brother is [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] and has always gone as [name_m]Zander[/name_m] from a baby but now he’s grown up he does use [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] from time to time so I think [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zander[/name_m] is great so he has the choice between the two.

That said, my parents always had to make a real point that he was [name_m]Zander[/name_m] and register him for school etc as that name, or else people would call him [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] or [name_u]Alex[/name_u] instead of Zander. So either do that, or be at peace with them being called Alexander/Alex as well as [name_m]Zander[/name_m]

Lol I have two boys both called [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and Alexander!! :rofl:
I think [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] as a full name or [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] as a full name.
Mine get [name_m]Zach[/name_m] and Alex/Ally a lot. I love their names.

Wow your boys have such nice names!!! [name_f]Do[/name_f] you mind if I ask if they are younger kids or closer to teenagers/adults?

[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] will almost inevitably become a [name_m]Zac[/name_m]

Thanks :blush::blush:
[name_m]Zachary[/name_m] is 6 and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is 4 in July.
They both get their full names too. All the teaching staff (school/preschool) refer to them as [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and Alexander.

[name_m]Zander[/name_m] is ok but I love Xander! [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Xander[/name_m] would be my favorite

I really like both [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_m]Zander[/name_m] :slight_smile: They are classics!

I prefer [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] to [name_m]Zachary[/name_m], but I don’t really like Zander/Xander as a nickname for [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], so my preference would be [name_m]Zachary[/name_m] overall! A very nice name.
