Zachary 
Hebrew, "God remembered"
Twenty or thirty years ago, Zachary was seen as an old-fashioned name for a grizzly prospector or mountain man ("Rough and Ready" President Zachary Taylor served from 1849-1850). But around 1990, parents started realizing that a z was just as cool a letter as x, and Zachary has been chasing Alexander in popularity ever since.
