NN for Alexander

[Tweenandbump]

Hi. We have recently found out that we are having a little boy and love the name Alexander. I already have a son, Benjamin and have always used his nn as Benji. We like traditional names with quirky nicknames. Any ideas please? So far I have Lex and Sandy (not Scottish but Scottish Grampy was called Sandy 😊). X

I came here to say Lex so definitely that!

Alexander nn Lex is on my list for if I ever have a boy

Zander, Al, Lex

Wee Eck is another Scottish one but not one you probably wish to use...

Alec is my favourite

Exie
Xander

Alex or Xander X

Xander or Alex. Always liked that name.

Al
Ali
Alec
Alex
Alexi
Lex
Xander
Ander

Alex, Alec, Lex, Sandy, Xander, Al.

Sasha

SAndy is a bit different. Lex sounds like it should be Alixis. (which is traditionally a boy.). But would work.

YY Sasha.

We have an Alexandra who goes by Lex, if we had had a boy it would have been Alexander with xan as the nick name. Although we actually picked the name because it has so many variations that she'll be able to find a name she's happy with as she grows up - Alex, Ali, Lex, Lexi, xan, xandra,

I love Sandy.

I love Sascha

I also really like Anders

We called ours Lexicon when he was a baby. Or Lexagon. Or Little Lexy. Or Baby Alexander. A little baby called Alex seemed weird, for some reason. He is called Alex now.

I like Xander or Xan

I love Sandy too, a favourite of ours for a future boy.

As soon as I saw this, I thought Eck - I know two! (very Scottish)

My husband is Alexander, always calls himself Alex but the kids and I like to call him Sandy.

I like to serenade him with my own version of 'Oh Sandy' or 'I need you today, oh Sandy' when I've have a few too many

I love Xander.

Alec

Alexei

Lex and Sandy would both be girls' names to me. I'd go for Alec or Xander, but be aware that as soon as he's at school he'll be called Alex.

I once had a boyfriend called Alexander. He was from the Isle of Lewis and was always called Al or Ally.
