We are expecting a son. Our favourite name is Aleksander. Will it cause too many problems?

We're Danish.

Thanks!

Spelling will be a problem if he is raised in the UK. Is there any readon why ypu dpn't want to use the UK spelling. Its a very nice name

I know an Aleksandra and an Aleksandr (no e) and it hasn't caused them any problems, but they are both Russian.

For a girl, I actually prefer the Aleksandra spelling. I don't see an issue with Aleksander

Spelling will be an issue if you are in the UK. Expect him to spend his life spelling out his name. If you're ok with that, carry on.

I know an English couple who named their son Aleksander.
I can't see why it would cause any issues.

People might think he's named after the meerkat from the comparethemarket.com adverts.

I don't see why it would :)
