Lucas Xander / Zander

[Borodeb]

What's your thoughts on Xander / Zander as a middle name for Lucas? Surname begins with D.

Alexander is a family name on hubby's side and I'm not loving that so was looking at a different version of it.

Xander is a lovely name

A zander is a type of fish

Oh!!, hahaha maybe not a fish name then

Not convinced they run together quite right. The S from Lucas gets a bit stuck when I try and say the Xander.

Lucas Alexander is lovely though.

Hmm good point

Not Xander, please no.

Alexander is such a lovely name he can choose to shorten how he wants. Xander is such a pretentious version of it, really naff.

(And as I keep finding, it autocorrects to Dander too!)

It flows into Lucazander, which isn't a huge problem as you won't be using them together that much.
I think Alexander Lucas sounds way better though or Lucas Alexander.

I agree, middle name should never start with the same or similar sound as the last letter of first name as you can’t actually say it properly.

Lucas Alexander is nice.

No because the s of the Lucas joins on to the S sound in Xander.
Lucas Alexander is much better.

Or, if you really love Xander, you could just reverse the order. Xander Lucas is a good name IMO! - and you could still use Lucas as his actual name even though it’s officially his middle name.

Thanks everyone.

I agree with switching the names. I'm biased though as I have a Xander.

Sorry to be so pretentious and naff
