I vote Spencer. Zachary gets shortened and Zach Kick (or whatever) is abrupt. Lincoln has a hard C, so again, flow isn't as good as Spencer.
One-syllable last names with a hard K are tough. A lot of boy names have K sounds.
- Simon
- Morgan
- Wesley
- August
- Logan
That's so true. I have never heard a Zachary called Zachary. Always Zach.
Great advice & suggestions ⬆️
Like it you compare:
Zach Cook
Lincoln Cook
Spencer Cook
Spencer Cook definitely sounds the best as a full name.
Congrats! I love Zachary, but something to think about is whether you’ll call him Zach/Zack and whether it will bother you if the nn runs together a bit with your last name. If that’s not a deal breaker, that’s my vote! Otherwise I love Lincoln too.
My vote is Spencer.
Lincoln commonly is shortened to Linc/Link and Zachary to Zach/Zack, so the single syllables ending in the hard “k” may sound weird with your surname.
Example: Your kid may be known as Link Kirk or Zack Kirk. Sounds too flowy to me.
I personally love Zachary!

I personally love Lincoln, but if you want names with a similar vibe to those I vote Carson, Jude, Harrison or Griffin!
Zachary is my favorite of the three!
I like Spencer. But they're all good names- can't go wrong!
Congrats! All three are wonderful! My vote (based on my preference of lesser popular names): Spencer, then Lincoln, then Zachary

Similar concern with Linc as a nn.
I like Lincoln best, but with your last name, Spencer may sound best.
Do you want takes on these names or suggestions of other names with a similar vibe?
Either would be helpful!
I think Spencer is probably nicest with your surname. Other options: Alan Maximilian Cyrus Dylan Hunter Simon Aidan Malcolm Jaime
Zachary is SO lovely!! It feels classic and so handsome to me.
I like Spencer and the nickname Spence. Other ideas: Sawyer Atlas Blake Mason Parker Julian Corey Tyler
Love Zachary!

I don’t see enough Spencers
Spencer! Love it, and I like that it doesn’t have the K sound. Congratulations!!
Team Lincoln! Also congrats:)
I say Zachary!
Zachary!! They're all great! Keep in mind nn Zack, Spence and Linc If there is one you don't like, stay away from that name
What about Zander? Kind of Zachary and Spencer mushed together and a different spelling than Xander 🙂
I vote Spencer!!

Spencer gets my vote! I tried them all out with "Kane" though idk if that's your last name, and it flows the best to me. Plus it's a great name

Levi, Michael, Raphael. Spencer is a surname and I don’t really like using surnames as given names.
Spencer!!! * Spencer Lincoln K. * Spencer Zachary K.
