For awhile I've been liking
Alistair, but it was recently vetoed by my husband, who thinks it looks and sounds like Alabaster (so picky, grr!). So now I'm turning to
Alexander, which yes, is very common, but I like the unusual nicknames for it (other than of course the obvious
Alex). What are your favorite nn's for
Alexander? I like Xan/Zan, which would sound cool with my last name.
