I love the name Alessandro. Like many of its variants, it is very common, but refined and timeless at the same time. This will be one of the middle names for my future son.

I heard that the name Alessandro is also used in Spanish and Portuguese. I don't know how popular it is, but presumably modern and very rare. One bearer of this name in a Spanish-speaking country is a Venezuelan racing driver Alessandro Famularo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Famularo

Against the odds I know two people with this name! I have a friend named Alessandro who has never been to Italy or anything but always uses it in full. Meanwhile, my boyfriend is Italian, also named Alessandro, and he has never ever in his life used the full version! He always goes by Sandro. I think it's a shame because it's a beautiful name.

I LOVE the name Alessandro; it's been my favourite masculine name for a long time.
Like other people mentioned, I like saying it out loud because it has rhythm and rolls off the tongue. I also think this name is masculine and strong yet refined, romantic, and elegant - all at the same time. Also, according to an article I've read, Americans consider it to be one of the top 10 sexy masculine names; as an Italian, I totally agree!
The name Alessandro has been quite popular in Italy for a long time; it was at its peak a few decades ago when it was the most popular name for boys, and is still one of the top 5 most popular masculine names. It's used in other European countries, like France or Switzerland, as well. But I can understand why it's so popular!
One example of a good namesake is my favourite Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli, whose full name was Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi.
Common nicknames for the name Alessandro are Ale, Alex, and Sandro. Personally, my favourite nickname for this name is Sandro; if my name was Alessandro, that's what I would probably use as a nickname.
If I have any sons in the future, I'm definitely going to name one of them Alessandro; I can't get over how much I love this name! ❤️.

Alessandro Serenelli was an Italian, who in 1902 attempted to seduce an eleven-year-old girl named Maria Goretti. Not succeeding, he attempted to rape her, and failing in that, he stabbed her 14 times, mortally wounding her. While serving 27 years in prison for his crime, he reported seeing a vision of his victim in which she repeated to him how she had forgiven him on her death bed. From this point he was converted and became a model prisoner. Upon his release, he worked as a gardener and porter in a convent of Capuchin friars in the Marches. Goretti was later proclaimed a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.

Like Alejandro, Alessandro has a rhythm to it that I love saying out loud. Plus, you get the cute nickname Sandy out of it.

I know the name of Alessandro Safina, a tenor from Italy, who's famous for the song "Luna".
When I first heard his name, I was really like: wow... this man, with this beautiful, melting away voice, have such a beautiful name too.
Alessandro has something romantic in it. It's like you say, Romeo.
I love this name. Because of the tenor, but also because it's beautiful and in my opinion, romantic.

I think Alessandro doesn't really work for people from English-speaking countries unless they have some kind of connection with Italy. Anyway, if used wisely, Alessandro makes a very classy and sophisticated name.

Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Manzoni (March 7, 1785–May 22, 1873) was an Italian poet and novelist.
He was born in Milan. Don Pietro, his father, aged about fifty, belonged to an old family of Lecco, originally feudal lords of Barzio, in the Valsassina. The poet's maternal grandfather, Cesare Beccaria, was a well-known author, and his mother Giulia had literary talent as well. Alessandro was a slow developer, and at the various colleges he attended, he was considered a dunce. At fifteen, however, he developed a passion for poetry, and wrote two sonnets of considerable merit. Upon the death of his father in 1805, he joined his mother at Auteuil, and spent two years mixing with the literary set of the so-called "ideologues," philosophers of the 18th century school, among whom he made many friends, notably Claude Charles Fauriel. There too he imbibed the anti-Catholic creed of Voltairianism, and only after his marriage, under the influence of his wife, did he exchange it for a fervent Catholicism.
