    If you and you boyfriend have picked out Zachary, then I'd
    strongly suggest you go with Zachary!   Your parents will love
    their grandchild like there's no tomorrow no matter what you
    name it!
    
    That said, I have a couple of other suggestions for baby Chapman
    that are unique (I think that Zachary is kinda popular nowadays):
    
    Miles/Myles
    Derek
    Ross
    Travis
    Trevor
    
    By the way, do you have a set middle name?  Also, what is your
    girls choice (just to satisfy my curiousity!)?

    	I think that if you & your boyfriend have already decided on a name
    	that you are both happy with, it shouldn't really matter if someone
    	else dosen't really like it. After all it is your child. And as .1
    	said, your father will love his grandchild no matter what it's 
    	name is. 
    
    	But for some suggestions. I like:
    
    	Dylan Chapman
    	Tyler Chapman
    	Jacob Chapman
    	Kyle Chapman
        Nathan Chapman   
    	
    
    	Good luck what ever you decide!

    	Welllllllll... I *guess* I'm happy with it.  You know what it's
    	like when a name sort of JUMPS out at you and then after awhile
    	it kind of loses that flame??  Zachary is "ok" but I feel there
    	might be something out there that's even BETTER... Make sense?
    	So I just want to keep options open..
    
	>Dylan Chapman
    
    	The only thing I don't like about Dylan is the DylAN
    	ChapmAN sound... that's the reason we don't name the
    	baby Cameron (my first choice)
    
	>Kyle Chapman	...did come up in conversation! (8
    
	>Nathan Chapman ...is my cousins name. )8
    
	>that are unique (I think that Zachary is kinda popular nowadays):
    
    	It is?!  Waaaaaah... )8
    
    	>Miles/Myles	...hmmmmmmm.....
	    
    	>By the way, do you have a set middle name?  Also, what is your
    	>girls choice (just to satisfy my curiousity!)?
    
    	Girls choice is Cassidy Taylor.  Don't know why, it just
    	seems to "flow." Although THAT isn't set in gold either. (8
    	It's a lot easier for me to come up with girls names than
    	it is for boys... I don't want a typical John, Bob, Joe...
    	
    	Middle name for a boy hasn't been determined but I kind
    	of liked Zachary Sean... no real reason behind it.  We
    	were going to go with Taylor (again, no reason...) for
    	Zach as well but it turns out that's his cousins little
    	boys name...
    
    	*sigh*  ...this is TOUGH.  Keep 'em comin'!!!!

    If you are still in the think stages of a boys name and want something
    a little different, how about Tristan?

    I love Cassidy Taylor!   Unique, but lovely!   I agree with you
    on the xxx-an Chapm-an stuff.   How's about Tanner or Spencer
    for a boy?   I still think Miles Chapman sounds great, though.
    
    Good luck,
    Carol

    
    
    	RE: Carol
    
    	Spencer just happens to be my boyfriend's fathers name!
    	(;
    
    	Miles does sound nice. I'll have to bounce it off the
    	beau and see what he thinks.
    
    	Thanks for the comment on Cassidy.

Speaking of beaus, how about Beau Chapman?  Has a nice, strong ring to it.

Others might be:

	Reed Chapman
	Cooper Chapman
	Lucas Chapman
	Gunther Chapman
	Dane Chapman

Just some different, but "not outrageous" ones...

Oh,  a friend of mine with a six-month-old had their names picked out, but
didn't tell anyone them (used others as a bluff) to avoid that possibility of
someone else's hating your name(s) causing you to question your choices.  Then
again, *some* feedback is certainly nice...

    	Well.... as it turns out, despite all my "instincts" and
    	"intuitions", we had a baby girl on March 11...
    
    	Cassidy Taylor Chapman weighed in at 8lb 12.5oz and
    	was 20" long...
    
    	Guess we'll just have to WAIT to use Zachary. Maybe by
    	the time we have another one, the popularity will have
    	died down. (8

    Congratulations, Kim!   You know, I was also *convinced* I was having
    a boy (although I wanted a girl desperately) and lo and behold, Allyson
    was born.  I'm sure Cassidy (*great* name, by the way) is the light of
    your life right now and will always continue to be.  Good luck and
    enjoy your new little girl.

    	Thanks much Kathryn and to the others who sent mail.
    	She's growing like a weed and it doesn't seem like
    	it was two months ago (already!) that she was born.
    
    	Eesh... this'll make me old before my time,... but
    	I wouldn't have it any other way. (8
