My nephew is named Alex. He was supposed to be Alexander but his surname ended in er and my sister didn't care for that. Funny thing, he changed his surname later in life so Alexander would have worked after all. I really haven't known many people named Alexander. My kids have known a few, though.

My fave nn for Alexander is Xan. It just feels the most natural to me. I also like Alec.

For a girl, I like Alex and Allie. My bff's dd is named Alexandra (Allie).
