Final 2 names - please help me decide!

[GreenGodess]

My husband is useless so please help me pick! Would be useful to hear how popular theese names are in the under 4's as a little out of touch!

Ok now they won't be everyone's cuppa but here they are:

Girl
Nicole aka Coco
Alexandra aka Lexi

Boy
Reuben
Xander

Thanks!

I think Nicole (Coco) as it's rather underused in comparison with Alexandra

I think Xander over Reuben as I think Reuben belongs to a different culture to mine - nothing against Jewish people AT ALL, might I add! Prefer sound of Xander anyway

I like Xander Reuben surname. Think that's lovely. Is that cheating?

There is both a Nicole and an Alexandra in Ds's class at school but they are 4/5. Prefer Alexandra of the two.

I know a two year old Reuben but no Xanders. I like Reuben very much.

Alexandra and Alexander are my vote. Go for the full name, gives the little one more options later on. Also the extra syllable might come in handy when telling off! I would strongly advise against Lexi as the nick name. I caught the train home from school with a girl called Lexi and for 6 years she was hounded by grubby boys chanting sexy lexi at her!! She was stunning, (as yours will be!), which is part of the reason she got so much attention.

I like Nicole, only if it is pronounced with a French accent (that old Renault Clio advert has stuck in my head!). Does anyone else remember that? Or just me?

Doozie, isn't she Mrs Thierry henry.

I like Alexander/ra

Alexandra for a girl. I think the shortening of Nicole to Coco is horrible (sorry, but I do).

Not too keen on either of the boys' names, but Xander is the lesser of two evils. ;)

I have a dd alexandra known as Lexie

on this list we have Cordelia or Charlotte nn coco too and Reuben nn Rudy for a boy

prefer Lexie spelt with final E though as it is scottish for Sparkling with that spelling

Reuben no more Jewish than Ethan or Ben or Jacob.

Coco or Reuben.

Alexandra & Xander

Alexandra
Reuben, love this name. Old Testament yes, but like GE says no more Jewish than any other OT name. You wouldn't say "Ooooh Adam, how Jewish".
