I'd think they were blinded by the glitter of trendy-initial Z. And I'd agree that it certainly surpasses Zebediah ...
My nephew Alexander was known as Zander for the first few years, but now he'd happily Alex. When he was born, his elder brother used to call him, and refer to him as, BabybrotherZander - all one word; which was megacute but of course didn't last.

My husband was bullied by a kid named Alex and hates the name as a result. He started using Xander in college and it stuck. he's the only one in his family that actually uses a nickname. Hilariously enough his mom named him after a character in a book who went by the nickname Zander. His dad hated nicknames and refused to let his mom use it. His mom does not like the spelling with X but my husband being my husband doesn't like having a name shared by a fish. So he refuses to use the spelling Zander.
