What do you think? He would mostly be called Alex.

I have one just like that - using Alexander more now as he gets older- he's 12 . Still love it .

Favourite boy's name, never got a chance to use it as had girls. Love it.

Love it

AnguaResurgam · 04/07/2014 18:19

Lovely name!

I like it a lot too. Would be on my shortlist for a boy too if our surname didn't end in 'er'

I have a 3 month old Alexander Smile . Love the name still. Works for any age group, lots of shortenings, can't see it becoming horribly dated in 20 years time.

Would have had one had friends not beaten us to it!

Nereida · 04/07/2014 23:16

Love it. Wish I could use it but dp prefers it as a middle name.

Teabiscuits · 04/07/2014 23:54

I have a 1 yr old Alexander - he's just Alex to us most the time.
Good choice!

MagratGarlik · 04/07/2014 23:57

I have one. Love it. It's classic, won't date and isn't so much subject to trends. I like Alec as a shortened version too, but dp didn't.

My grandfather is Alexander, everybody calls him Sasha or Sania

IWannaHoldYourHand · 05/07/2014 11:34

I have a 3 year old Alexander. Everybody shortens it to something different. He asks people to use Panda or Alexander.

I love it. It's the name of DS2 (who is almost 8).

He goes by Lex.
