"Good name for me, people tell me that all the time" Apr. 17, 2014: 
"all I know is that I love my name. I used to think that not very many people had the name Zachary until today. I honestly don't care if people spell it with a c, k, or q I just like the name. I like the full name Zachary the best because no body really says Zachary, They just say zack or Zach. I don't get why people are bothered by the spelling. Who cares how you spell it just make sure you don't say it wrong." Mar. 19, 2014:
"Definitely better than Joey by a lot. A LOT
REALLY A LOT LIKE ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO CALCULATE HOW MUCH BETTER ZACH IS THAN JOEY" Jan. 23, 2013:
"I love it on brunettes for some reason! If I imagine it on a blonde I think of them as Jocky Football star Jerk but when it's on a brunette..it seems..softer..and sweet. <3" Sep. 22, 2012:
"My doctors name is Zachary Leg, very unusual since he was born in communist China. Apparently he is gifted in martial arts and acupuncture therapy. Although I don't call him anything other than Dr. Leg, he once told me that in China 'zac' is a common addition to many names, but is silent when pronounced....not sure why he told me this, but very interesting. If you are ever in need of a good doctor who specializes in skin growth disorders, Dr. Zachary Leg is one of the best in the greater Las Vegas area." Jun. 9, 2012:
"When i was a kid. i used to spell my name "Zack". My little sister used to call me "Zacky", all the time, lol. My mom nicknamed me "Zachariah". my father and all my relatives. nicknamed me "Mr. Zach" As i got older, in my perspective. I changed it to "Zach". I feel that's how to correctly abbreiviate, the name. this name is not Russian, Polish, Czech, or Persian, etc. It's Hebrew. The name is very intellectual, Strong, and it stands on it's own. I am very proud to have this name. Because the name Zachary, means "Jehovah has remembered" And that is something really special." Jul. 23, 2011:
"My son's name is Zakery. Yes we spell it differently but its all the same. We normally call him Zak unless he is in trouble then its Zakery Jordyn, not just Zak. He knows then he is in for it. :) We have never met anyone else with the same spelling as him and that makes him even more unique. Zak was the last name in the baby book that my husband and I could agree on and his name just suits him fine!" May. 31, 2011:
"My 9 month old baby is Zachary, and we call him Zach and Zachary is equal measure. His daddy call's him Zachy sometimes. We absolutely love it although many of our family and friends thought it was an unusual choice. My little boy is very boisterous and i think is so suits him, my mum now loves it, says she cant imagine him being anything else now. The only problem is if we have another boy i really cant find anything i think goes well that we both like.. i need to keep looking." May. 30, 2011:
"Its p sweet my names Zachary I've gone by Zac pretty much my entire life." Mar. 5, 2011:

"I am thinking about naming my boy Zachary...but i don't know." Nov. 20, 2010:
"My fiance is named Zach. He hates it when people call him Zak with a k or Zac with a c and no h. And he can't imagine being a 65-year-old Zachary. None of the four people in this room have met an old Zach. But, we like the name." Nov. 19, 2010:
"My incredible son is Zachary (beautiful and brilliant). People want to call him ZACK.....but he prefers if they do, to spell it ZACK! In sports, his nickname was Zippy...he loved that too! Maxie" Aug. 29, 2010:
"My name is Zachary and I appreciate the Z there, it adds itself well into signatures.
I'm very picky on the spelling, though:
Correct: Zachary. Zack.
Incorrect: Zachery, Zackary, Zackery, Zacherie, Zackarie, Zakary, Zakery, Zakerie, Zakarie. Zach, Zac." Jun. 12, 2010:

"I love the name , its unique but not so much that it sticks out too much, its cool having a name that starts with a Z. Im glad im not named something extremely popular." Dec. 15, 2009:
"My son who is 10 months is Zachary Austin. I love the name it's manly and strong name unlike some of these trendy sissy boy names. Zachary is a tried and true name. My husband did ask, can we spell his shortened version Zac? I thought it was neat." Dec. 7, 2009:
"Everyone likes my name. I think it's a cool name. I meet people all the time named Zach. There is like 20 guys namede Zach at my high school." Dec. 6, 2009:

"I was going to be named Zacharias (Spanish pronunciation) but since we live in America my parents preferred to Anglicize the name and go with the english "Zachary," which is a fine name, but not as expressive of my culture." Jun. 21, 2009:
"I named my son (born this past July) Zachary but we call him Zach. I love the name. Every Zach I've known has been both a decent and fun spirit and it fits my son - he's very inquisitive and is always ready with a smile. I still haven't decided how we'll spell it - Zach, or Zac but I guess that's something he can decide when he's old enough :)" May. 8, 2009:
"My name is Zachary, and I'm 13. I go by Zack because people have always called me that. I hate it when people spell my name Zach because the "h" at the end of the name makes people pronounce it rhyming with cat"ch". But other than that issue, I love the name because nobody else at my school has it." Apr. 17, 2009:
"My son Zachary was born 2 months early and my other 4 children chose the name for him. He turned out to be an amazing and wonderful child. I don't really think the name got him there, but maybe? He was like a Budda to us all, family and friends alike. He taught us to embrace life. He died at 13 and one half years old, a true tragedy. We will always miss him; mother, siblings, dear friends and teachers from middle school!" Apr. 9, 2009:
"Im a Zac (Zachary) and I like it. I feel its different but normal, with several possible spellings. I really cant stand to spell my name with the "ch" cuz I think of the "ch" like in catch so I have to have it with a "k" or just a "c". I cant go with Zachary cuz its too long for me. I also cant go by Zack with the "K" cuz here in Germany It means something horrible for a name so I just Keep it simple Zac. :)" Mar. 29, 2009:
"My best friends name is zach but i always spell it wrong. he gets mad bout it but i think it is funny" Mar. 27, 2009:
"My son's name is Zachary and it completely fits him. I love the name because it's not too trendy. It's funny because we call him Bubba just like the previous person wrote." Mar. 17, 2009:
"My names Zachary and I just graduated from WIU and I love the name Zach. Yeah there is a few nicknames but what name does not have some. I really never had trouble with it. Pretty much the only nickname i ever had was charlie hustle (baseball). I really never saw anything wrong with it and no one overly famous has it to compare me too." Feb. 12, 2009:
"My name is Zack (short for Zachary) and I always get questioned on how to spell it. Recently I was thinking about switching to "ZACH" since it makes sense, however I have chosen to spell it ZACK for as long as I can remember. Thanks to the comment on the abbreviations on Michael (Mike) and Nicholas (Nick) from a previous post I will proudly continue with Zack. I suggest you do the same as well. By the way, "ZAC" is just weird, don't put your kid through that kind of torture!" Jan. 23, 2009:

"Our beautiful son Zachary was born in April this year, but we had had his name chosen for years beforehand! We love the name and had so many compliments on it when he was born. It's not overly common, yet not 'weird' either!! We sometimes use 'Zach' as well, but he can choose what he prefers as he grows up." Sep. 25, 2008:
"Hey my name is Zachary and I actually just go by Zach, probably will when I'm older too. I'm 20 and I've ran into a great deal of Zach's along the way and we even ask the question of do you spell it with an "h" or a "k". I've gotten from family friends, zach attack and zachariah. But overall I love my name and wouldn't change it for anything." Sep. 14, 2008:

"I'm 29 and had a friend from grad school who went by Zach. He was a nice, popular guy! I don't think it sounds too young at all, it's a good name even for an adult. I would definitely consider it for my baby, if I was having one. :) Zachary or Zach is a fine name, so I would save "Dylan" for his brother, in case you have another boy." Aug. 25, 2008:

"I love the name, I have a 10 month old and he is very, very active. (He was named after his great-great grandfather Zachariah) However, we are thinking about changing his middle name to Dylan just to give him an alternative if he doesn't want to go by Zach as he gets older. I love the meaning, but it can sound kinda young when a boy is becoming a teen-ager. Any thoughts?? I would like to hear from some older Zachary's if I can. thx." May. 19, 2008:
"i've got a zach...zachary...he is our zach attack. loves his name..(19 years old) what a cutie, smart too, plays the sax and lacrosse...great name for a guy" May. 7, 2008:

"Zachary.... hmm....
A annoying brother but I still love him sometimes" Feb. 20, 2020:
"Reply to the person asking for middle name suggestions: Ever since I was a little girl, I was going to name my son Zachary Asher (biblical meaning: Happy/Blessed) after the little boy I played with next door & my best friend was going to name her son Joshua Alexander & her husband (their small town doctor) knew this well ahead of time. But when their son was born, he put the name Zachary Alexander (I like this middle name, too, but really like Asher better) on the birth certificate. Boy were we upset! So after much thought & consideration, when my son was born I named him Joshua Benjamin (an old family name that goes back generations). It really worked out well in the end. Joshua/"Josh" really fits my ash-blonde, blue eyed son & Zachary/"Zack" fits her red-headed son in the end & I wouldn't have it any other way. But I still love the name Zachary Asher."
