[Opinions] Re: I want to change my name to Alexander but don’t like Alex

There's no originality in Alexander either, and in fact it's more popular than Alex.
But It's not at all uncommon to be called Alexander in full form. Or Al, or Xander. (Only use Sasha if you are Russian; otherwise you will be seen as pretentious and that's unique in the wrong way.)
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
