Great name to have on your birth cert. A bit more captivating than Zachary, though I love that name too, you could shorten Zachariah to Zachary, and then to Zach if you wanted, too.
Zachariah is an angel in the 2005 'Supernatural' TV series, first appearing in 4.17 "It's a Terrible Life" where he introduces himself as Castiel's superior. He is played by American character actor Kurt Fuller.
I used to think that this name was very pretentious and awful, but now I quite like it. My youngest sibling was going to be named this but our mother "chickened out" and ended up going with Zachary instead. Zachary is fine but I prefer Zachariah or just Zac\Zach\Zak\Zack on its own.

It is a bit more unique and complex than Zachary, not to mention the different spelling variations you could come up with. But in my opinion, the classical/original spellings are the best.
It is also noticed that a variation of this name (ZACHARIAH) is also used among the Catholics in some parts of southern INDIA (especially in Kerala). The common names are: ZACHARIAS ZACHARIYA ZACHARIA and SCARIA for short
I like this name very much. It is much better than the overused "Zachary", and very different and strong. My brother has a friend named Zachariah Alton, "Alton" after his Dad, and I feel they fit him perfectly.
