Help[Opinions] Zander
What do you think of Zander as a nickname for Alexander? I dislike it spelt Xander, but love Zander. I do feel it needs a full name though, hence Alexander.
I really like Alexander Henry, Alexander Lucas and Alexander Scott
nn Zander
WDYT?

I like it!
My cousin Alexander was called Xander/Zander and sometimes Xand/Zand when he was little - until age 11 when he went to secondary school and wanted a more grown-up nickname, so we call him Alex now.
Xander/Zander was just an informal nickname, I think mostly used by family, hence why I don't know if it was Xander or Zander, because we didn't write it down. I remember we made cakes once and put each person's inital on their cake - we didn't know whether to put X or Z down for him, so we put A for Alexander instead.

My nephew Alexander started off as Zander - his elder brother referred to him for months, with great pride, as "BabybrotherZander", all in one breath. And this continued for a few years, with Alexander for discipline and emphasis, but now he's become Alex by mutual consent.
He is an Alexander Duncan, by the way. The ln is very Scottish.

It works. Actually kind of a nice break from the really common Alex.
