We've got an Alec and a female Alex in the family so Alexander is out, which is a shame as it's about the only name I like. I just don't think there's room for another Alex. I've been looking at alternatives and came across this one. What do you think?

I really like the name Evander. It sits in really nice spot of unusual names, where it sounds familiar without being overly popular or odd.

I don't know the boxer @SBTLove. Bad association? Good association? I'm not into boxing!

I went to school with one 40y ago in rural Scotland.
It's a perfectly fine name, but perhaps a little unusual these days

I’ve never heard of it but it sounds quite nice! Although reminds me a bit of Olivander
