Alexander is a very strong and nice name, but i hate the fact it is often shortened to Alex.
"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 named my baby boy Alexander. I always called him Alex. So did everyone else. Then, when he was 15, he'started introducing himself as Xander. I am n't thrilled with the new name.
What a horrible name for a little girl! Isn't something backwards suppose to mean the opositeβ€οΈ
its my name and the'shortform ALEX ist also ok for me...
my favorite backstreet boy is alexander james. i always wanted to name my son that, after him. but my husband didnt like it. so our sons are Channing Thomas and Lucas Scott. if we have another,that will be his name, haha.
There are many people who mispronounce Mamie(May-me) but i love it. I dont have to worry about everyone having the'same name as me. The only other Mamie i have met is mt great gandma(which i was named after).
I dont meet much people named Alexander. People usually only call me by Alex for short though.
I love the name Alexander! Though I'mostly like it because it is my boyfriend's name, yes, it is a nice name. ^_^
Since this is my name it is clearly the best name in'the universe.
my friend is called alexander and he'speaks to egirls
I have loved my name Alexander. It is a powerful, masculine, old name that translates well into several languages. Also allows for many nick names: Alex, Al, Lex, Zander, etc.
Beatiful name and steadily popular. I know (of) several people called Alexander and they are between 3 and 87. It's also my brother's name (he's 39).
My husbands name is Alexander. His friends call him Alex and his mother calls him Zandy. This name allows for many nick name options.
One Of Thee Best Names Ever Nicknames Include Alex, Al, Lexi and loads More This is gotta to be the best name ever created

ALEXANDER IS A GREAT SAINTS NAME EVEN PAST POPES HAVE CHOSEN ALEXANDER. THen'tHERE'S ALEXANDER THE GREAT.
I'm called Alexander, my nickname Zandy started when an older'sibling couldn't say Alexander properly.
my older bro is alexander (alex) and again It'suits him pefectly! alexander gareth hunter jamieson - if he's bing a snob or in'trouble hes alexander, which is yeah, kinda posh or whatn't i guess, but otherwise hes just alex which is perrrrrrrrfect, causual, wahtever, everyone knows it, XD
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.
I thought it was interesting that a friend chose to use Xander as the nickname instead of plain-ol' Alex.

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.

I'll be naming my little boy Alexander :) very strong and classic name :)
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.
i like the name Elexander better... It's n't near as common
I named my son Alexander, but we use Sasha as a shor way to call him. Its popular to use Sasha for Alexander in Russia and other post soviet union countries, but its n't so common in'the U.S or Europe.
We went with the spelling Alekzandur for our first born. ;)
