"The Great" name, literally, "helper and defender of mankind," I love my name, and living out its meaning. Historically, It's a leader's name... while there is a lack of Julius's and Napoleons, there is no lack of Alexanders!

I particularly like the spelling "Aleksander." It is Russian and a very beautiful name. Another derivative is "Alexei."

Through all of my 18 years of existence, people have not been able to pronounce it right. I get the usual "Lee" or "Leia" pronunciation instead of the correct way to say my name, which is "Lee-ah". I always hated saying my name and stuff, but now I kind of like it. Although the meaning Isn't really flattering.

My son's name. I don't like to shorten it but I like the fact that he'll have many nicknames to choose from. He was named after three Alexanders that I admire : Alexander the Great, Alexandre Dumas (who wrote The Three Musketeers) and the greatest dancer of all times, Alexander Godunov.

We named our son "Alexander Antony" We named all of our children first, and middle names with "A". He is our first child so he started the trend. He is named after his father Alexander. And I liked the name Anthony but my husband is from Cuba and spells the way he hears things so he wanted it to be spelled "Antony". I liked it, its different. My son likes his name. it suits him.
