I love Alexander. My mother's first mn is Alexandra, so I'll very likely use Alexander as a mn if I have another son. I think it's too classic to be boring or common, no matter how popular it is. I do hesitate to put the name on my fn list just because of the sheer number of female Alexandras, Alexandrias, Alexises, Alexas, and so on. That's a lot of kids with very similar names and nicknames.

I can think of 4 Alexanders I know off the top of my head.
Alex - mid 20s
Alexander (no nn EVER, according to his mom) - 10-11
Alex - 5
Zander - about 3. His full name is spelled with the x, but they opted for a z in Zander. I don't know why.

My favorite nns are Alex and Sandy.
