Hi all - desperate for some help/advice!
Our DS2 is due in a week and we need a name that works in English as well as Greek.

Our front runners currently are:

Xander (I don't much like Alexander)
Marcus
Hector

Others that have come up:

Ajax
Lysander
Leander

I love Rafael, but my partner doesn't!

Help! Any thoughts on the above/other suggestions?

Spiros.

I quite like Stelios, though would probably always think of Stelios Hajioannou (if that is the right spelling) who founded Easyjet.

I can't really see Luca as an any way a diminutive of Lysandros I'm afraid, though I quite like both names.

Nicolas, Nico for short

I think Lysander to Luca is a stretch I'm afraid Sad

Haridimos nn Harry?

Ajax used to be a cleaning product when I was small...

Xander is nice and goes well with Leo! Others are too similar. I dont like other options and Xander as a nickname- might as well just go with Xander
