Sandy! What do you think?
Alexander is a great name but pretty tired from overuse, and most Alexanders become the ubiquitous Alex. I have heard some mention Xander as an alternative nickname. But what about Sandy? I don't like Sandy for a girl, but for a boy, I think it's sort of charming.
Or is it too feminine? Cruel to call a boy Sandy, perhaps?
What do you think of Sandy as a nickname for Alexander?
All opinions welcome, as I'm not sure what I think myself.
