Friends of ours just had their second son ... Zachary James. Big brother is Riley Wade. ;)

Just thought I'd share.

Yes, Zachary quite surprised me after Riley. I actually expected another popular/trendy type Irish name, perhaps Owen, Connor or one of the Aidans.

However, Riley was sort of named for his father (Ryan), without literally using the same name, and even his mn, Wade, was one he'd just always loved (yeah, apparently men love names too LOL), so perhaps Zachary was Mom's call? ;) Her fn is a less-common Biblical one, but that's the only connection I could come up with.

Anyway, that was my first thought.

I think they go together well though - they're both familiar names, have a similar sound without being matchy.
