Since you've all been so helpful with input on our girl name, I thought I might as well ask for feedback on the boy name!

My wife is pretty set on Damian as a first name. That's fine with me. My only concern is that my name, Adrian, sounds very similar. But I guess the worst that could happen is that we both come running when she calls one of our names. :)

We're thinking about double middle names, and she's mentioned that she likes both the names Alexander and Zarek. Alexander is a little *too* common for my taste, but I admit it's a good, strong, solid name for a boy, and I'd have no problem with it as a middle. Zarek is a name she came across in a book series she's reading ... I see that it's here at BtN as a user-submitted name, and a few other sites around the Web seem to corroborate that it means "Ba'al protect the king," with Assyrian roots, used mostly in Poland today. I'm fine with that name, too. Offbeat but (IMO) not totally off the wall, and I do like the initial Z sound.

So ...

---

Damian Zarek Alexander?

---

Or just ...

---

Damian Alexander?

---

Or maybe you like both? Or neither? All feedback welcome. Thanks!
