I love this name. It'sounds so friendly, especially when'the nickname is "Alf" or "Alfie". I know one person named Alf (short for Alfred), who is a really friendly sixty-something year old professor, and the name'seems to really suit his personality. Unfortun'tely, it probably seems old-fashioned on a young kid nowadays.

I LOVE this name! I think it is so handsome, and would fit along perfectly with brothe's Edward and WillI'm, or a sister named Rose. "Alfred" looks and sounds simultaneously grown-up and fun, which is what a lot of parents look for in a name. :) TONS of great history behind this name. A much better choice than Jaydin or Mykaell.

When i was a kid. i used to spell my name "Zack". My little sister used to call me "Zacky", all the time, lol. My mom nicknamed me "Zachariah". my father and all my relatives. nicknamed me "Mr. Zach" As i got older, in my perspective. I changed it to "Zach". I feel that's how to correctly abbreiviate, the name. this name is not Russian, Polish, Czech, or Persian, etc. It's Hebrew. The name is very intellectual, Strong, and It'stands on It's own. I am very proud to have this name. Because the name Zachary, means "Jehovah has remembered" And that is something really special.
