[Opinions] Re: Xander
in reply to a message by Chrysanthemum
As I am not very fond of Xander, but love Alexander, I would definitely use Alexander as a full name and use the nickname Xander.
I don't think everyone would start calling him Alex, unless he told them his name was Alexander. You can get around this...just use the names Xander on forms, etc. My friend does this so she doesn't get called Katherine or Katie.
Alexander Leo is my favourite of the combos. Alexander Michael / Xander Michael is rather boring and it doesn't appear to have a special meaning to you like Alan or Leo does (unless there's a special meaning for Grant). Alexander Alan is too alliterate, while Xander Alan is a tad better.
