[Opinions] Re: Alexander
in reply to a message by insane romantic
I knew a handfull when I was in school, so they are mid-late twenties now. All Alexander "Alex".
My cousin Alexander "Alex" or sometimes "AJ" (Alexander James) but parents. He's a junior in high school, so 16.
A friend of the family, he's a sixth grader I think this year, so younger than 15. I know he goes by Alex, but cant remember if his full name is Alex or Alexander. Another family I know doesn't have full names, and used the nn as full names, so right now I could be confusing the two....
I work in a classroom at an out-paitent hospital, and in the several months I've been there, I haven't seen an Alex come through.
Personally, it's way too common for me, and I've seen it too much to see it as anything but boring and overused. But a fresh (to my ears at least) nn can spice it up (such as Xander or Sasha... as I have not actually heard these used for a boy)
