Is Alexander boring?

[DecemberBaby2016]

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

However, is it boring now?

I like it and Zander is a great nn.

It's a timeless classic of a name. Like Alex or Xander for short.

I love it. It's smart, simple and classy. Plus you could be any age, any job, any walk of life with a name like Alexander.

I love it - it's so adaptable. Other nn options include Ali, Al and Als.

Our ds2 if he ever comes out (40+5 currently) will be Alexander so I love it!

Lovely solid boys name.

Not at all boring! The name is a real beauty. All the Alexanders I know are beautiful too.

It's a great name. I love Alec as a nn.

It's a classic. Although tbh I do prefer Xander as a nn, just a bit bored of the guy's name Alex. But it gives you that flexibility so all good.

Love it, especially with nn Sasha.

My 19 yr old DS is Alexander. I still love it. His nicknames vary according to what is going on: Alex, Xan, Ally, Xanny, Ally Bally Boo (he particularly hates this one at 19 ). Alexander if it requires a serious talk.

It is the ideal name; recognisable, lots of different short forms, only one spelling, and not remotely boring.

I do find it a little bit boring.

It's a perfectly fine name, really classic but I do find it a wee bit dull. Ditto names like Thomas, James and Oliver. They've been in the top ten for so many years I just feel a bit "blah" about them.

I like it much more than 'yoonique' names. Nowt wrong with a bog standard, classic name that will suit a person at all stages of their life.

i like it
