These are my thoughts, please share yours.
59 It was part of the law to circumcise after 8 days. It was tradition at this time to name them even though they could have before and often times a family members name was chosen for them unless God tells them to name them something else which is what happened hear. Zechariah means the Lord recalled.
60 The parents always have the final say about the name of their child second the mother then first the father. John means God is gracious. Elizabeth knew the meaning of this name and because God had given her a son at her age that is what she felt.
