I just don't like "Alex." Alexander is one of our middle names because no one ever shortens middle names. When I hear "Alex" I think of Alex P. Keaton. ;)

I know someone with a baby named Alexander that they've shortened to Xander. But if he grew up and wanted to be called Alex you'd be stuck with it.

i actually picked alexander because i can call him 'lex' too. i love that name. it's sexy in a way and i hope my baby gets all kinds of girls whenever he's like 18
