I love Zacharias (particularly if you change it to Zachary). Think Miriam and Julian are nice enough, don't make me cringe. Leonora, I just don't like.

Leonora - I wouldn't ever use it, but I don't mind it for some one else. I do think a little girl with the nickname Leo would be awesome.
Zacharias - Again, I don't love it, but it's not a bad name.
They definitely fit together as siblings, if that's what you are asking.Miriam - love it and think it's way underused.
Julian - I hate it and get such a whiny vibe.
Again, are you asking about them as a sibset? I'd say they are fine together. Not astonishing and not particularly noteworthy.

Leonora and Zacharias are two of my favorite names. I can easily see myself using both in real life. Julian is alright. It works okay will Julian, although not a perfect match. I don't really know what would be, though. Glad to see that you liked my ideas for Miriam's future sibling. ;)

Leonora is too long and too clunky. Eleanor or Elinor or Nora would be good, or even Leonie. Zacharias is trying too hard. I'd prefer Zachary or if necessary Zachariah, but I wouldn't use any of them.Miriam and Julian really appeal to me. They've both got the same retro charm.

I love Nora, my husband does not. We've discussed Elinor in passing.None of these feel right and I doubt that will change until we are actually expecting a child, which is unlikely.Love thinking about names, though.

I like Leonora and Zacharias, but not as a sibset if that's what you are intending. I recently met a baby named Eleonora and thought it was lovely. I think Leonora would work just as well but cut out the Elle, Ellie, Ella nicknames if you don't like those. You would, however, possibly have to deal with Lenny which I really don't like. Maybe steer people to Nora?Miriam and Julian are okay. Nothing really too exciting. I like Miriam better than Julian and I think it could be knocked out of the park with the right middle name.

I adore Zacharias, and almost every other variant of this name. I can't use it myself because Zac is a terrible nickname where we live and it's impossible to find another nickname that makes sense. I'm not fond Leonora. I don't like Nora at all, or any other name that contains the same sound. Miriam and Julian make a nice set. I wouldn't use either of them myself, but they're fine and go together well.

I like Zacharias, it has spunk. Leonora isn't my style but it's an okay name. I really dislike Miriam and Julian, I hate the way both names sound- old and stuffy.

Leonora is dark and beautiful. I slightly prefer Lorena. Zacharias is also dark but pretentious. Together they sound like a rich couple with an evil plan.Miriam and Julian is much sunnier and happier. I like that sibset a lot.

I like Leonora, though I have a slight preference for Lenora. I sometimes stumble over the additional syllable. It's elegant, but has simple nickname options to tone it down if necessary.Zacharias is handsome. I nearly always prefer the -as ending to -ah on Biblical boy names and this is no exception. I like that it's got more strength to it than Zachary, but feels similarly familiar.Miriam and Julian are nice together. It's nice how the rhythms are similar and in actual sound they both have a softness. They comploment. They give very different feels imo, though. Julian is quiet academic. Miriam is earthy and strong. It's a nice pairing.

I really like Leonora, but only with four syllables (lee-uh-nora or lay-uh-nora). lee-NOR-ah completely ruins a lovely name for me. Zacharias is a bit much and reminds me of the bratty Harry Potter character. Miriam and Julian are very nice together. I hate the name Julian but there's nothing wrong with it.
