I think I have been through every theme and name under the sun and we still come back to [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. We really do love the name but I still have a niggle that I would like something more unusual. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] are so popular at the but I do like that they can’t be shortened.
So am open to any ideas and names. We are thinking of [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] as a middle name which we both love. [name_m]Just[/name_m] want to have one last look before we decide.
You might like [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_m]Anders[/name_m], [name_m]Leander[/name_m], [name_m]Solomon[/name_m], or [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m], all of which go quite nicely with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] {which I love, by the way}. Going on [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], you might like [name_m]Otto[/name_m], [name_m]Arthur[/name_m], [name_m]Rupert[/name_m], or [name_m]Otis[/name_m]. Good luck!
If gideon is the middle name, I do like [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] best.
I totally get your issue though. I’ve become in love with the name [name_u]James[/name_u]. I don’t want to be, as its so common. But here I am.
I like [name_m]Evander[/name_m] as an alternate option to [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is very handsome.
[name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is so handsome!! Two of my favorite names. I like the above suggestion of [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] as well.
I love [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]! It is handsome and classic without being boring because it has a few nickname potentials. A friend of mine chose [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Brandt[/name_m] for her son but she seriously considered [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] nn [name_u]Theo[/name_u] first.
Thank you everyone, yes, [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is rather fabulous!!
Thank you for the suggestions, will run them by hubby. I do like [name_m]Evander[/name_m] but just think automatically of the boxer [name_m]Evander[/name_m] Hollyfield…
[name_m]Lysander[/name_m] and [name_m]Leander[/name_m] are great too as is [name_m]Ottis[/name_m]. Crikey, decisions decisions!!
Previous posters have listed plenty of great alternatives to [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] if you are still hesitant, but [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is such a charming, timeless classic. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is great, or you could go with [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] or [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] as well.
I like the above suggestion of [name_m]Evander[/name_m] [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] as well.
