boys name to match Alexander (Alex)

[mumtoo3]

We are struggling with a boys name, our son is Alexander but we call him Alex, and need a name which will work well, we have thought about William, Henry and Thomas, and dislike thme for various reasons we need a name not too out there iykwim! but a strong name, which is longer and can be shortened!

any ideas???????????

Nicholas
Sebastian
Christopher
Frederick
Benjamin

Daniel
Nathan (Nate)

Matthew. 'tis ds' two names, so of course I think they go well together

we have Benjamin and Alexander we know that by the time they are at the rugby club they will be ben and alex.

... and perhaps fortunately, we weren't able to have another child, as we had "used up" both the names that we liked!

Victor
Dominic
Bendict

Alex and Gabe

Benjamin - Ben
Daniel - Dan or Danny
Jacob - Jake
Dominic - Dom

Hugo

Samuel (sam)

Vincent
Simon
Joseph

Benjamin - Ben
Dominic - Dom
Edward - Ed
Quentin - Quen/Quinn
Jonathan - Jonty

thank you all for your great ideas dh and I are still unsure but will keep going through the list!!

secretly - fingers crossed its a girl, jasmyne, jazmyne how ever we spell it!!!

I have twin boys Alexander and Reuben

We have Alexander shortened to Xander and a William who we call Will, now pregnant with DC3 and if its a boy we will prob call him Edward!

We chose those as we think they are good strong names with the potential to grow with the boys and they can choose their own variation as they get older!

Sure whatever you choose will be perfect and I have to say, you have pretty good taste having already chosen the same as my first son!

lucybrad, I have an Alexander, and if I ever have another boy he will be Reuben! You have v good taste in names
