Well I really like all your choices here....I really like Xander as nn

I think either Alexander Thatcher or Thatcher Alexander sounds great

I think I'd lean towards Thatcher b/c it's not popular and origianl and you still have a fn as a mn!

River - pretty cool name

Rivers -same as above

August Thatcher sounds good too!

Presley- like it, just not my first choice

I vote for Alexander Rivers. Love those family names!

Thatcher is a family name for me, and it's my DD's middle name. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used it.

River - it's okay

Rivers - I think this is COOL. Like it, and it's great that it's a family name.

August- Love this name, ditto previous name.

Alexander nn Xander- family name = boring (sorry!)

Thatcher- not a family. name - very unattractive. Makes me think of a labourer attaching roofs in the middle ages. Or the Iron Lady! :o)

Presley- not a family name. The only Presley I know is a girl. And I don't like it for either.

I'd probably go with August, if I were you. Rivers and Holland (said together like this) could sound like "rivers in Holland". August has "aw" and Holland also has "aw" in it, so they sound lovely together.

River--I love this name! I'd never use it just b/c my fiance would never agree but its such a strong handsome name,


Rivers -I prefer just River.


August- Honestly. I could never name a boy this. Its says "sissy boy" to me. Not that is a bad name I just prefer strong more manly names for boys. JMHO


Alexander nn Xander-- Is overdone and boring if you ask me.


Thatcher- I like this actually. I sometimes get the "sissy boy" feeling but sometimes I can totally see this as a strong handsome name. It definatly could work on the right person.


Presley- The only Presley I know is a girl and thats the only way I can ever picture it.

Rivers: Not a huge fan, but if it's a family name that's important to you, maybe as a middle name.


August- I don't personally care for "Month" names.
