Alexander, Theodore or William?

[dragonwood]

Thank you

[IWouldLikeToKnow]

I love Alexander! Also Alex and Xander.

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Exactly what I was going to say. I love all of the variations of Alexander.

Theodore

[SuperBeagle]

William.

Because I love the nickname Billy.

[RoryItsSnowing]

Theodore.

As if there aren't enough Alexanders and Williams around.

[Needalifeoverhaul]

I love Alexander...Xander for short!

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

William for Will.

Alexander is lovely

Not keen on Theodore

[HeteronormativeHaybales]

All fine names. Theodore having a bit of a moment atm. I think I'd go for William.

(I love Alexander, and Alex is OK (prefer Al or Sandy myself), but do not at all get the current love for 'Xander'. It's horrible!).

[EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic]

Anything but William. It's hard to move around here without bumping into 3 Williams at any one time.

[howthelightgetsin]

I know William is so popular, but Will is such a great name.

[pipilangstrumpf]

I dislike Will (it’s a verb) and Willy! So that would rule out William for me.

I like Alexander best.

[chipscheeseandgravy]

Not so keen on Theodore, Alexander is nice (dp's name, although I despise the name Xander as NN)

Personally I would go for William. (This was on my name list :)) timeless and not one of this odd faddy celebrity names.

[ChocolateCrunch]

Theodore, but I like Theo better, or as nn.

[Sugarpiehoneyeye]

Alexander/Xander, or William/Will.
Theo, as a stand alone name.

[SleepingStandingUp]

William is soooo popular atm and there's alwqya the Willy risk.

Love Theodore nn Theo or Teddy
Like Alexander nn Alex or Ally or Xandee

[early30smum]

Love them all! Would probably pick William out of the 3.

[FindTheLightSwitchDarren]

1. Alexander (love, but not keen on Xander as a shortening)
   
2. William (love and like all shortenings other than Willy)
   
3. Theodore (not keen on Teddy or Theo, but I do like Ted and the full name)

[Nonameyet1]

Too many Theodores, other two lovely!

[EllaHen]

Alexander - so many nicknames. Alex, Sandy, Lex, Al, Xander

Don't like William. At all.

Theodore is nice. Like Theo.

[Sophronia]

William. Not keen on Theodore.

[dragonwood]

Thank you. Isn't it funny, Theodore is the least used? (@Nonameyet1)

[Nonameyet1]

Just seems Really popular in our area, South west. It's a good name though so can see why.

[MrsMargeSimpson]

I have an Alexander, his shortening is mentioned only once here (not Xander but I do quite like it). He’s never Alex. It’s incredibly versatile and although on the rise we don’t know many his age (he’s 6).
Not keen on William as there seems to be many more of those and ‘Willy.’ Kids will take anything and use it to bully of course but this is handed to them on a plate.
Theodore is nice, I like Theo too. Not keen on Ted, know millions of those too!

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Theodore

[Twofishfingers]

I have a William, we used to call him Billy when he was little but when he started school he decided he was William.

Alexander will get shortened, almost automatically I think. Theodore will be Theo. So it depends if you are happy with the shortened version.

Obviously I like William best! But Theo second. Not keen on Alex.
