Comments and insights on the name Zachary: | Edit

this is my boyfriend's name. it fits him perfectly. the one thing that bugs me though is that his parents and teachers spell it Zachary nickname ZACH but he and his sister and some friends spell it ZACK and it drives me crazy that he can't pick one. if i had to pick one for him, it would be ZACH because that's spelled like Zachary. If he wants to spell his name Zack, then his name should be spelled Zackary.
