Wow, I am very pleasantly surprised to see someone interested in Nikandros - it has been among my favourites for a long time! :) Have you also considered its latinized alternatives (which I personally like even better), namely Nicander and Nicandrus? There is also Nikander and Nikandrus, if you prefer partially latinized forms instead.

I am also very fond of other ancient Greek names that end in -andros and -ander, by the way. I will list a few of those, since they have a similar feel to Nikandros and so there is a chance that you might like some of them as well.

As for other names: how about Greek names like Ardalion, Asterion, Kyrion (latinized form is Cyrion), Lykarion (latinized form is Lycarion), Stylian (from Stylianos) and Tyndarion? Or Greco-Roman names like Caesarion (the name of Caesar's son with Cleopatra), Diadumenian (name of a Roman Emperor) and Symphorian (name of a saint)?

---

Or perhaps Russian forms of Greek names, like Didim (ultimately from Didymos), Ieronim or Jeronim (ultimately from Hieronymos), Iliodor (from Heliodoros), Nikodim, Pimen (from Poimen), Rodion and Trofim (ultimately from Trophimos)? The possibilities are endless! :)
