Baby name help

[ShaunaKeenan]

Have a son called Louis (Louie) and struggling with sibling names. Options are:

Hugo
Alexander (nn Xander)

Thoughts ?

I like both. Xander has the edge I think. Reminds me of Doctor Xand, which is a good thing!

(As in twins Dr Chris and Dr Xand, originally on CBBC e.g. Operation Ouch but now forging careers as adult TV presenters - don't think he calls himself Dr Xand on grown up stuff though, he uses his proper name Dr Xand van Tulleken.)

Alexander. Louis and Hugo is a bit try hard in my opinion, though I like them separately.

Agree with pp I prefer Alexander. Great nn

I'm not a fan of Xander.
I'd pick Hugo, what about Jasper?

I love all but Louie and Huey are Donald ducks nephews - Louis and Hugo could be a bit close to that? I have a Louis myself so have overthought these things!! Great names though

I feel like if I had a third child Hugo would be fine but I see the point about Louie and Huey, don't know if I could deal with that until the 3rd came along.

Alexander, definitely.

Alexander

Hugo!

Alexander!

Alexander, but although you might call him Xander at home, he’ll probably get Alex a lot.

Alexander. Classy, timeless, international, versatile...

Alexander. Hate Hugo sorry.

Alexander. (Though I really dislike the recent trend for 'Xander').

Xander isn’t that recent, it was in the running for our now 22 year old.

My dogs called Hugo... only cos I’ve got girls! Love the name for a boy. X

I prefer Alexander nn Xander. Sasha is a lovely nickname for Alexander too, although I suppose fairly brave in the UK as a lot of people assume it's a girls' name.

I prefer Alexander. Xander is a great NN

both lovely but prefer Hugo

Don't have Alexander unless you are prepared for him to ultimately be Alex. He might choose that for himself, Xander-childhood or not. Xander's quite marmite! I like it, but if he doesn't he'll be Alex by 9.

Louis and Alexander are Prince George's middle names!

And yes, I doubt you'll be able to force the Xander nickname, so if you're not happy for him to be known as Alex, then don't use it.
