    i would spell it Zachary, and probably Zac.

    the thing is, if its a stranger spelling the name, they will spell it however.. if it were family/friends/school etc they SHOULD spell it correctly, because they know how it should be spelt.

    i get the oddest spelling of Krystal sometimes!! i understand the C or K, but Christell, Cristal, Krystall... and this is family and friends!! argh!

    I would spell it Zachary & Zach. BUT you have named him ZachEry & thats fine hun. The people close to him will (hopefully!) know how to spell HIS name. Thats the main thing in my opinion... if family spell it wrong & continue to do so... well thats just rude IMO

    Dont worry hun, these days most people have problems spelling any name because they always expect a "twist" to the spelling (eg- Jason changed to Jayson... thats just an example, no offense intended if there are any Jaysons here on BB)

    Zac and Zachary. Only because these are the only ways I have seen it spelt before.

    BUT you called his Zachery, and that's how it's spelt so there :P

    Haha my son Jaidan's father spells his name Jaiden all the time... even to the point where he made him a special cake for his birthday (he is a baker/pastry chef) and he spelt it wrong! I stuck the candle through the e lol

    I would spell it with an "e" actually, but i'd spell Zac not zach sorry I'd rather people spell my childs name wrong than pronnounce it wrong if you know what a mean. It would be annoying though
