Thoughts on Xander - not Alexander.

[WishYouWereMine]

DP and I both love Xander for our imaginary son.

We have a Persephone who is never ever called by her full name, but I like to see a proper name on birth certificate for some reason.

I wouldn't want to use Alexander as really dislike the nn Alex.

Thoughts please ;) Would you think 'yuck'?

ODFO & Everybody else that said Xander is pretentious , Why & in what way is it pretentious ?

I know an adorable six year old Xander. It's not pretentious where I am from but I'm not in the UK. That's his given name not a nickname. His brother and sister are called Thorin and Zoe.
