Names similar to Alexander
| Tue, 08-14-2007 - 4:14pm |
OK, so I'm now within a month of my due date and DH, who had previously been open to other names, has now decided that Alexander is the one. Don't get me wrong, I really really like the name, but it is literally the most popular boy name in our state. Our girls are Carina and Amia - not even in the vicinity of popular.
So, I'm looking for suggestions for other very strong, masculine names with a similar feel to Alexander.

Could you use Alexander with a less popular nn - Alec, Lex, Zander, Anders? My oldest son is Alexander and it's not very popular around here. I've never grown tired of it.
Other ideas:
Cameron
Alistair
Zachary
Evander
Nathanial
Allen
Callum
Malcolm
Maximilian
Some suggestions for names similar to Alexander (in my opinion):
Patrick
Austin
Matthew
Andrew
William
Warner
James
Russell
Christopher

I have been thinking of having a different nickname - Zane is my favorite even though it's a bit of a stretch from Alexander.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I've been trying for either Thomas or William. I actually thought Dean was going to be it (named after DH's dad) but his dad just told him he never liked the name. I've also tried to keep Everett on the table. I think I will bring up a few others that have been suggested.
Thanks again!
