About Spelling

[obiwankatie]

Zach or Zack? On IMDB it's Zack and with releases it's Zack. So why do people still spell it Zach?

I think this might depend on what his real name is - if there's no long form, it's probably Zack. But if his name is actually Zachary, then shouldn't it be Zach? On the other hand it could be derived from something obscure like, I don't know, Isaac. In which case I don't think it would be spelled "Saac" because that's a little too Scandinavian-looking for an English name.

I've seen it flip-flopped around on the official website and in fanfic so I just picked one and went with it. *shrugs* Zach looks less goofy than Zack, IMHO.
