I was wondering what you guys thought about the name Sander for a boy. I've been liking it a lot lately. Do you think it's too last name-y? Do you like it regular, or as a nickname for Alexander? Also, any middle name suggestions would be helpful! :-D Thanks, much guys!

Also, would you pronounce it like sand SAN-der, or would you pronounce it SAHN-der?

One who sands (as in, uses sandpaper or an electric sander). Sorry, that's all I can think of. Like naming a child Fisher or somesuch (to go on record, I don't like the names Hunter, Tyler/Tiler, Archer, Taylor/Tailor, etc. either :b).

I really like Sander. I pronounce it SAN-der.

It's not too last name-y.

It reminds me of Adam Sandler. Not necessarily a bad thing, but either way, I think it's an unattractive sound. (I would say it SAN-der.)

Strangely, though, I wouldn't mind it as a nickname for Alexander, Cassander, or Lysander! :) On its own, it's nms.

Makes me think of shop class, when we used the belt sander and the palm sander.

Ditto

I really like Zander or Xander though. It fits more with Alexander. You could use it as a nn, but I really hate Alex- names. Zander / Xander are two nn that I don't mind being used without the full name.

I think Sander is better as a nickname for Alexander.
