Emil or Aleksander.

Sasha is a shortening for Aleksander/Aleksandr/Alexander. Definitely not Nicholas.

Don't do Olaf. I just think it sounds like someone fat, middle aged and jolly! Aleksander ok, but will be misspelled constantly. Bruno just too dogish. I like Emil and Izaak best.

Olaf makes me think if lemony snicket. Bruno is a dog name in my eyes. Izzak and Aleksander-is the spelling cultural or sonething? Emil is fine if somewhat effeminate. Emil is my favourite.

Count Olaf in Lemony Snicket is thin and evil but I think my fat and jolly association is from Frozen or Nordic associations/ Father Xmas etc.

Bruno

Agustarella · 02/12/2017 17:03

I can't choose between Aleksander and Emil! Your other names are fine too.

Emil Aleksander?

I may need to have another boy so he can be called Emil(e).

Bruno or Emil

Olaf

I knew a lovely Austrian man called Olaf, never connected him with the snow Olaf.
