So Alexander is about the only boy's name DH and I can agree on at the moment. I also love Henry but DH doesn't... (he is quick to veto all my suggestions but never comes up with any of his own!!).
Anyway, I love Alexander but I'm really not keen on Alex (reminds me of a wet, drippy boy I used to know).
My question is are there other nicknames that I haven't considered? I'm not keen on Xander (sounds weird and a bit forced/try hard to me). The only one I'm close to liking is Ali, but I'm also concerned its a bit girly.
In theory I would be happy to just call him Alexander but I know in reality it is a very long name to be shouting in the playground. Also other people would shorten it and he will get called Alex for sure unless we start using a different nickname for him early on.
Any other names I might like?? DD is Naomi. I just can't find a boys name I like - it can't start with W, N, E or M.
Help!!!
