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

However, is it boring now?

Not boring!

areyoubeingserviced · 09/10/2016 18:47

One of my favourite names for a boy

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

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.

DramaAlpaca · 09/10/2016 18:40

No, it's a good name.

Queasyrider · 09/10/2016 18:00

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

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

EllenDegenerate · 09/10/2016 18:00

No

LC01 · 09/10/2016 18:00

Love it.

Giratina · 09/10/2016 17:59

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.

Losgunna · 09/10/2016 17:58

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

HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST SUCH A THING.

It's the best boys name ever. Grin

Chinlo · 09/10/2016 17:51

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

FlappyRose · 09/10/2016 17:49

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

ohgoodlordthatsmoist · 09/10/2016 17:47

No it's lovely :)
