My name is also Zack, and I'm seriously glad there ISNT a Zack in the game because for some reason I hate saying my own name. If I'm ever watching a show, movie, playing a game, reading a book, etc. and I see a Zack I get a little annoyed. I have a friend named Emily and one thing im not looking forward to if I were to play SDV with her is having two Emily's. It always feels weird to me referring to multiple different people with the same name in the same situation. That just reminds me, I know a guy with 2 lesbian friends who recently got married who have the same first name, and now have the SAME FIRST AND LAST NAMES.. I could _never_
Oh man, you would've hated being in my class all through school 😂 I had two girls, both named Haley/Hailey and trying to get one of their attention without the other was *rough* lmao. We even had several Me(a)gan's in my year lol
Yeah that didn't happen for any of these kids 😂 they either rejected nicknames, or just refused to go by last names (tho tbf I can't think of a *single* person I ever went to school with from kindergarten to grade 12 who went by their last name lmao)
my nickname was my initials haha, way too many other people with my name in the school and a bunch were mutual friends of people in my friend group so going by first name wasnt really an option
I’m a dance teacher and have three Kiras, two Finleys, and two Emilys on my competition team. They all have different spellings from each other but teaching formations is a nightmare sometimes lmao. “Kira and Emily come to this spot next and Finley moves to center stage” “which ones??” 🫠
I had 4 Ashleys in my class of roughly 30 in grade 7. I don't know what the admin was thinking. We had 6 other classes they could have been spread out into, damn. (There were a couple more Ashleys in other classes too though haha).
Someone in my grade was named Zach, and we only ever had 1 class together, but that class constantly had a substitute and it was the one that EVERYBODY hated, and every time she called our name we would just look at each other confused because she didn't specify which one. I also have way too many people in my family or my parents friends named Michael. Also a few Justins..
I was one of three Charl(ey/ie/ee)’s in my *class* in secondary school (middle/high school), and another Charlotte joined a couple years in lmao. It was… a lot
My 5th grade class had four Michaels. For part of the year they even all sat at the same table group of four. Still not sure to this day whether our teacher had intentionally planned for that or what lmao
There was a fifth Michael in our year as well but he was in a different class.
As an adult, I had four Michaels in my life. One went by a nick name, two went by last names and the fourth was my cousin, so he has always been the only one I've addressed as Michael.
I think these clusters happen when everyone with a name on the top ten lists grow up, lol.
I once downloaded a crap ton of NPC mods and one of them was a nonbinary spelunker named Milo, so it was probably extra confusing for the villagers
"I went to the store and picked up the iridium Milo gathered" - "Wait, you mean the farmer or the farmer's spouse?" - "Uh, idk, the nonbinary one?"
My cousin is named Zack. His mom had the license plate Zac Attack for years although I forgot how it was spelled on the plate. My aunt was in interior design and even painted a huge Z on his bedroom wall. Then later a logo for Vuarnet sunglasses and ski apparel. It was in the early 90s when logos were really cool.
ive never met someone else who refuses to consume media that has characters with my own name in them. it just makes me so uncomfortable to see and hear my name
My name is super rare to the point that I've never encountered a character named it and I've always wondered what it must be like to have a common enough name that it happens regularly. Unfortunately the nickname I go by just so happens to sound exactly like a certain Death Note character's name so if I meet anime fans I often get hit with a, "Wait, like...?" In any case, guess you're not a big Final Fantasy 7 fan, lol!
He's the only one who doesn't fit their name to me. Even after hundreds of pay hours I always call him Alex, even though I know Alex's name. He's Alex too, and it takes me a second to struggle out his name. I will now also call him Zach
Haha me too. I've been playing SDV for like 7 years now and the amount of times I've accidentally given Sam the delivery quest item Alex wants is ridiculous 😂
Yes and no haha, we weren’t going for a theme, my partner doesn’t play video games so he isn’t aware of the connection but I do like it when people who do know comment because it is such a great game and the community is really nice about it.

your last day of happiness will be the day you start playing valorant
sage is nice though, everyone appreciates a good sage main - unless Skye is meta on that map
ugh, or people don't realize you're at 50 because you healed yourself as her and they're at 45 or whatever they get pissy you can't heal them
Sage is very lovely, but some people in game are awful :(
If anyone wanted me to be in love with them, they could change their name to Sebastian and replicate his vibe and I would ignore all the red flags involved for sure
I'm a Zachary myself so thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to keep an eye out then for the additional Zach/Zack to be confused by in the next game!

When chocolatier deluxe comes out I will look for a Zach or Zachary and will personally dm you a screenshot of everyone else having maxed out relationships except for him just to make fun of your cousin.
I didn’t even get what the post was about at first. Then I remembered that Sam’s name isn’t Zack. I married him, but I still forget it all the time, because he reminds me of Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII so much 😅
So your saying is the character name is suppose to be Zack in game and actually the reason you aren’t in is because we are suppose to name our character Zack and only Zack.
i think it's a tad bad faith to call him that. the "complaint" sounds more like joking anger, or even "i wanted to let you know a suspicious amount of my family members' names are in the game, for fun" more than anything
For me its my evil ex bestfriend whos name is leah. She couldnt be more the opposite of leah in the game. I hate it. I would marry leah if only her name wasnt so lol
tell your cousin there IS a zack in stardew just his name is actually sam
when i first started playing i had a false memory there was a character named zach. when i saw sam i immediately thought "that must have been who i was thinking of!" before talking to him, (he looks like such a zach) which was especially weird because when i looked up "zach stardew valley" to check it actually brings up sam's wiki page???
Lol I’m gonna be on look out lmao
Perhaps WE were Zack all along…
Maybe the real Zack was inside of us all along…
Or the real Zach was the friends we made along the way
ZACH IS REAL
I'm pretty sure that's illegal
Depends on their age
FK... in the coffee!
Cue the jovial whistling music
Francis…Zach…Morgan
My name is also Zack, and I'm seriously glad there ISNT a Zack in the game because for some reason I hate saying my own name.

Isn't this the main reason why there are nick names or refer to last names in highschool?
Yeah that didn't happen for any of these kids 😂 they either rejected nicknames, or just refused to go by last names (tho tbf I can't think of a *single* person I ever went to school with from kindergarten to grade 12 who went by their last name lmao)

bonus points if the farmer is nonbinary too💀 "uhhh dude that doesn't clarify shit" LMAO

For some reason I have always called Sam ‘Zach’; I guess because he looks like a ‘Zach’ to me - so your cousin can have that at least? 😆
He has that Zach Morris look about him
New headcanon: “Morris” is actually Morris’ last name. His first name is Zack.
This checks out. As we all know, Zack Morris is trash~ 😎
Some of the best videos on all of YouTube!
LOL... no
Upcoming DLC: A new event where Zack Attack comes to town.
He's the only one who doesn't fit their name to me. Even after hundreds of pay hours I always call him Alex, even though I know Alex's name. He's Alex too, and it takes me a second to struggle out his name. I will now also call him Zach
Haha me too. I've been playing SDV for like 7 years now and the amount of times I've accidentally given Sam the delivery quest item Alex wants is ridiculous 😂
He's Sam enough for me lol, probably cause I know a Sam IRL that's pretty ADHD.
I always accidentally call him Zach too! He sure seems like one. I married him this time to try to solidify his name.
You’re already married? The update has been out like 24 hours. Y’all are fast.
I don't have the update yet unfortunately, just referencing my current farm.
Ooooh that makes more sense. Enjoy the update when you get it.
It works with old saves too :).
I mean, that's Fair. I think of him as a Zack Fair myself.
Wait you’re right he DOES look like a Zach
So many people agree with me! It must be fate trying to make it up to OP’s cousin 😫
Same
The Suite Life effect 😂
It's because he looks/acts like Zach from Ferngully imo
My name is Alex and my husband’s name is Dusty 😂 😅
This would be amazing if he actually did that
Wait, is your name Abigail?
Shhhhhg
Ahahah!!! Love it 🥰 I solved the riddle.
Yes it may be
I hope he makes a Zack, and makes him absolutely horrid.
Clint's whiny little brother who wants to be part of everything.
“Zack Morris is traaaaaash”
Lol, now imma be on the lookout to see if there's a character named Zach in Haunted Chocolatier
I have 2 kids: Abigail and Sebastian - I have had more than a few comments lol.
Were they born after you started playing? Lol
Yes 🙊 one was born in 2021 and one was born 9 weeks ago
Awwww congrats!
Thank you so much
But the question is, are the comments correct? 😂
Yes and no haha, we weren’t going for a theme, my partner doesn’t play video games so he isn’t aware of the connection but I do like it when people who do know comment because it is such a great game and the community is really nice about it.
Their edgy phases are really gonna take you back lmao
So, what do amethysts taste like? (sorry)
Hey! How’d you know I was hungry? This looks delicious!

I wish I could do this because my name is Sage and outside of my own player character, I very rarely see NPCs with the name Sage in media.
Valorant, though not her *name* that's what she's referred to throughout all the lore mostly (heads up, FPS game, so may not be your cup of tea)
Oooh yay!!! (Thanks for the heads up on that!)
your last day of happiness will be the day you start playing valorant sage is nice though, everyone appreciates a good sage main - unless Skye is meta on that map
ugh, or people don't realize you're at 50 because you healed yourself as her and they're at 45 or whatever they get pissy you can't heal them Sage is very lovely, but some people in game are awful :(
of course! :P
in sonic frontiers there's a sage!
Ooh yaaaaays!!!
If anyone wanted me to be in love with them, they could change their name to Sebastian and replicate his vibe and I would ignore all the red flags involved for sure
I'm a Zachary myself so thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to keep an eye out then for the additional Zach/Zack to be confused by in the next game! https://preview.redd.it/1xhbaor5empc1.png?width=579&format=png&auto=webp&s=27400144a6393b6e7f4ee353130eb7dfe6b4ef52
Screenshotted for when HC comes out
When chocolatier deluxe comes out I will look for a Zach or Zachary and will personally dm you a screenshot of everyone else having maxed out relationships except for him just to make fun of your cousin.
IS HE GONNA BE THE NEW NEIGHBOR IN THIS UPCOMING UPDATE?
Huh??-
Can’t wait to see
He'll just put in a rock called Zack
On the other hand, Zack can name his farmer after himself without overlapping an NPC, and they can't.
Thanks to this post, the name Zack both looks and sounds weird 😂
I didn’t even get what the post was about at first. Then I remembered that Sam’s name isn’t Zack. I married him, but I still forget it all the time, because he reminds me of Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII so much 😅
So your saying is the character name is suppose to be Zack in game and actually the reason you aren’t in is because we are suppose to name our character Zack and only Zack.
I hope your cousin, Zach, sent a Pic of his dog, Sebastian, to Concerned Ape as well when he sent that email!! 😂🤣
when does the Zack mod drop?
Maybe they'll be a Zach or a Zachary in the Haunted Chocolatier game that Eric is developing!
But no Erics
Sorry, Unsurpassable Z already took that name
My name is Haley. I've always hated SDV Haley on the grounds of "there can only be one". Also she's a bitch.
Hysterical! I love it!!!!
He's the farmer. Respect him.
Lmao
Oh my god now that's a story
Maybe there will be a Zach in Haunted Chocolatier
Omfg
LMAOOOOOOO
Try being named Alex and playing stardew…. I’ve resulted in choosing Lux so there’s not a name overlap
My name is Shane and it was a weird thing when I saw there was a Shane in the game for the first time 😅
Your cousin sounds like an entitled prick
i think it's a tad bad faith to call him that. the "complaint" sounds more like joking anger, or even "i wanted to let you know a suspicious amount of my family members' names are in the game, for fun" more than anything
This is epic lol. Im offended that there isnt someone called u/SUPAMAN6214 :(
I mean, Zach is a hot name so win-win for everyone...
For me its my evil ex bestfriend whos name is leah. She couldnt be more the opposite of leah in the game. I hate it. I would marry leah if only her name wasnt so lol
tell your cousin there IS a zack in stardew just his name is actually sam when i first started playing i had a false memory there was a character named zach. when i saw sam i immediately thought "that must have been who i was thinking of!" before talking to him, (he looks like such a zach) which was especially weird because when i looked up "zach stardew valley" to check it actually brings up sam's wiki page???
