Description:
A perennial boy name favorite, Zachary has a lot of history behind it.

And don't forget former U.S. President Zachary Taylor. While the name was wildly popular for a while, it is currently experiencing a downward trend, so now might be a good time to hop on the Zachary train if you wanted a cool-but-not-so-common name for your son.
