Okay, so my SIL is pregnant and finds out tomorrow if she is having a boy or girl. She has mentioned the names they currently like to me, but its been over the phone and since they do not know the sex yet, it really has been much of a discussion. I will be seeing her over the holidays and since they will know the sex, I know she is going to ask me what I think. I'm not sure how to handle this as I am not crazy about either of the names. Part of me thinks I should be honest, as she and I are fairly close, but the other part of me thinks I should keep it to myself because if they end up choosing the name, they will always remember that I don' like it.
Another part to this is that the boy name they are considering is Zach, which I do not care for, but my main concern is that they don't think they will use Zachary and call him Zach, they would just name him Zach. To me, this is not a name you can do this with. I think John doesn't have to Jonathan, Mark doesn't have to Marcus, but Zach does have to Zachary. What do you all think?

I have a friend who is pregnant now and they know they are having a girl and using the name Grace. Well, her sister always calls her to tell her ideas for a middle name in case they don't want to call her "Grace" but want to call her something else. It really infureates my friend so you might want to consider that before you say anything. Good luck!
However, Zach is fine just as Zach to me.
Even though my first choice would be Zachariah
Thanks again everyone.
