Is Alexander boring?

[DecemberBaby2016]

I think it's a lovely name - Alex is a great shortening too.

However, is it boring now?

[ohgoodlordthatsmoist]

No it's lovely :)

[FlappyRose]

Not at all. I think it's a lovely name.

[Chinlo]

It's not boring, it's just classic. It's one of my favourite of the popular, traditional names.

[OvO]

HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST SUCH A THING.



It's the best boys name ever.

[Losgunna]

No it's really nice. I wanted it for DS but a friend has an Alexander already and he is by a country mile the sweetest, loveliest most thoughtful little boy I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He's an absolute joy to be around. He is six and I wish he was mine! this may have coloured my view

[Giratina]

No it's not boring it's lovely and you can shorten it to Alex, Sandy or Xander if he wants when he's older.

[LC01]

Love it.

[EllenDegenerate]

No

[fisharefriendsnotfood]

I have an Alexander and it's a fab name. Classic but not common

[Queasyrider]

No. I love it just as much as I did when I named DS1 Alexander 11 years ago. He's Alex to everyone.

[DramaAlpaca]

No, it's a good name.

[Ohdofuckoffplease]

No it's lovely! Not boring at all. I really like Alex as a shortening too. Not massively keen on Sandy or Xander but they aren't terrible either.

[WhatwouldRuthdo]

It's a great name . And although it's fairly popular, we don't come across that many others here.

[areyoubeingserviced]

One of my favourite names for a boy

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Not boring!

[TheRadiantAerynSun]

Well, I may be biased because I have one and in my family it's part of a strong naming tradition (we have lots of Alexs)

I think it's the perfect name. Flexible, classic, lots of NN options, popular without being trendy.

Not at all boring.

[MotherDuckSaid]

i really like it :)

[WaitrosePigeon]

There's nothing wrong with it, but I find it boring.

[sugarplumfairy28]

It's not offensive in any way whatsoever, but I personally find it it a little too common and pedestrian now days.

[WeArePregnant11]

It's perfect :)

I prefer the nn Alec, but Alex is also lovely.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Absolutely not boring.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

I love Alec too.

[Shockers]

The two I know, Alex and Alekss, are both gorgeous, sparky little boys!

[Notmoreantihistamines]

Lovely name, not boring, and I am not biased as I dont have an Alex. We nearly used as a middle name but as initials made an unfortunate acronym.

[museumum]

I like it but prefer sandy or xander as shortenings.
