Boy name to go with Alexander

[whatnextsteps]

We've just found out pregnant with baby no. 2 and need to start thinking of boy names because DS name took a long time to pick one we both liked and wasn't a family name. We have a girl name so if have a girl this time no worries.

DS is Alexander but goes by Xander. We'd like to find another long/traditional name that has nickname options. Middle name will likely be Drew after my dad, DS middle name is after DH's dad.

Family names include Joseph, Robert and David.

Thanks for any help!

Frederick or Maximilian

I like Alexander and Nicholas particularly as both have a Russian link.

I was goung to suggest Felix but it probably isn't long enough

First one that came to mind was Frederick (Freddie). I think Xander and Freddie sound great together.

edward- Ted/ teddy
theodore- Theo/ teddy
vincent- vinnie

It has to be Nicholas really doesn't it.

I have an Alexander and Christian.

My first thought was Alexander and Matthew, but Matthew really does go with Drew.

We have Alexander the Great. So if DD (Catherine the Great!) had been a boy she would have been Frederick or Peter 😂

Thank you all for ideas 😁

Congratulations! We have an Alexander! His brother is Oliver.

I'm sure most of these have been said, but;

Christopher / Kit
Edward / Ted
Theodore / Theo / teddy
Jonathan / Jonty
Monty
Benedict / Ned
Sebastian / Seb

I have an Alexander, we called our second boy Oliver. I agonised over a name for him and we decided on Oliver only a couple of weeks before he was born, but it so suits him.
