HelpZachary
Zachary has been growing on me lately, but I have some hang-ups about it, so just looking for your thoughts.
(1) People think it's wacky. It isn't established in Scotland at all, and when a name is unfamiliar and starts with a Z, people tend to think you're being "different" in an irritating way. In first year at uni I was friends with a (Canadian) Zack. Most people's reaction was, "Jack? Oh ... Zack ... right." Dunno if I could be bothered with that.
(2) Zack. I hate, hate, hate Zack. That's a big problem, right? I'm sure everyone would shorten it!
On a completely unrelated note, I met my first (British) female Kyle today. She's 18 and comes from a very traditional fishing town in Fife. So goodness knows where her parents got the idea from :-)
