Zac and Fatima's Baby Name Dilemma: What Could They Choose?

In 'Zatima' Season 3, Zac jokes about baby names. From playful picks like "Zatima" to the idea of a "Zac Jr.," we explore what names the couple might consider.

In the first episode of "Zatima" Season 3, Zac playfully tossed around baby names, though Fatima was quick to shut them down. But were any of them worth considering? While Fatima is only in her first trimester, baby names are often a topic long before a child arrives. We don’t know yet if it’s a boy or girl, but let’s revisit some of Zac’s suggestions and imagine what they could end up choosing.

Zatima
Zac suggested "Zatima," a combination of their names that also serves as the show's title. It’s a feminine name, perfect for a baby girl, but maybe a bit too on the nose. Still, Zac seemed pretty serious about it!

Zakisha
"Zakisha" was another name Zac threw into the mix, though Fatima quickly vetoed it. But what if it had a more modern twist? Add an apostrophe—"Za'Kisha"—and it suddenly sounds a little fancier. Maybe there’s potential?

Zac Jr.
Zac already has a son, Michael, but he wasn’t involved in naming him. If Fatima has a boy, Zac could go the traditional route with "Zac Jr." He could raise his son the way he always wanted, passing on lessons he learned too late. But would "Fatima Jr." have the same ring for a girl?

Not Gladys
One name we can safely rule out: "Gladys." Zac’s late mother’s name is a no-go, and honestly, none of their parents' names seem like good options for the baby either. Some names are best left in the past.

Something Powerful
What if they went with something more meaningful, something that reflects their values or the spirit of the child they hope to raise? A name with cultural significance could be a unique and powerful choice. For example, "Taj," meaning crown or royalty in Arabic, is gender-neutral and would be an unexpected yet fitting pick for their little one.

The possibilities are endless, but one thing’s for sure—Zac and Fatima’s baby will be as unique as they are.
