Re: I want to change my name to Alexander but don’t like Alex
I taught a boy who was Alexander and they were very firm about not shortening it. He's now 20 and still prefers Alexander. It's doable, you'll just need to correct people. Also if you introduce yourself as Alexander, people will more likely use Alexander not Alex.
I love Alexander it's so handsome, I wish it was used more frequently in full.

Thank you! I think it's unfair that many beautiful long names are shortened just because some people are too lazy to say the full name. I mean, just because their name is short doesn't mean mine ought to be.
