We have come up with the above and it's the first name we have agreed on... I would have liked it to be Alexander William Steven but it doesn't work with our two syllable surname.... what do you think?

Lovely name. I'm not keen on two middle names, but if you like Alexander William Steven then go for it! How often do you really say your child's full name including middle name(s) anyway?

Lovely choices op!

I'm not mad on Xander tbh and know a couple who introduced their newborn Alexander as Xander from day 1. It really doesn't suit him. He's such a little Alex! They've started calling him Alexander now actually. Basically, I'd wait to see which nickname feels natural before you choose one - great thing about Alexander is you have so many options!

I like it a lot. A good, strong classic name that won't date. And Alexander can be shortened in several ways, if he should choose to do so when he's older.

Gorgeous!

Good choice ! 😄

Very nice.

Actually I can't see why those three first names wouldn't go with a two syllable surname if you wanted to include Steven as well.
