[Opinions] Re: Alexander
in reply to a message by Mig
In answer to your questions: yes and yes.
Alexander is one of the names I see most frequently on boys. I have two friends with little boys named Alexander, and I would say its easily in the top 10 where I live. You see Alex alot but also Zander/Xander - a nn I hate with a passion.
I do agree that Alexander is likely to be shortened by folks. I'd use Alek or Sasha as a nn to avoid the over-popular Alex issue or the overly-trendy Xander issue.
