Alexander

Anyone know of any unique twists on the name Alexander? That is my husband's most recent contribution, but I feel it is a little plain for my taste. He turned down Alexavier.

my almost five year old nephews name is alexander, but we all call him xander (pronounced: zander), and occassionally a.j. (due to his middle name).
