[Opinions] Zach and Jack
What do you think about two brothers named Zach (Zachary, but called Zach) and Jack? Do you think it's too close? Do you have any of your own family or friends experience, where two siblings would be named like that?I can think of John and Joan Cusack (although, there are a couple more siblings).
Also Joy-Anna and Johanna Duggar.If twins are named Christopher and Christian and Isaac and Isiah, why wouldn't two siblings be named Zach and Jack?

It's been my fear for years that some day I'll encounter four brothers named Barry, Garry, Harry and Larry. And that they'll have wives or sisters named Dolly, Molly, Olly and Polly. Not a lot wrong with the names, just as there's nothing wrong with a big box of chocolates; but not all at once, and not every day.

I think Zach and Jack are too close, but if you agree to call one Zachary and the other Jack, it might work.

I think it's probably a bit too close. It's too rhymey for me.

I think the names do sound too similar, even though I like both names. I did know a pair of twins called Hannah and Anna, which was very confusing...

Yup, it's too close. Zachary and Jack is fine, but if you are calling Zachary for Zach often, then it's too close.
