a friend of mine is due in November and is having a baby boy. she's decided on the name Xander Donovan. (Donovan is after her nephew who died a few years ago.) WDYT?

also, I have new neighbors with three kids -- Elizabeth (9), Nathan, and Natalie (twins; 4). I think it's a nice sibset, even if Nathan and Natalie are a bit matchy.

I like Donovan. I don't why but there's always been something about Xander I don't like. It's too ~cool~ or something.

I would like Xander more as a nickname for Alexander. Alexander Donovan I like quite a bit.

I don't really care for Xander, but it could be a lot worse. Donovan is great.

I agree that Nathan and Natalie are a bit too matchy for twins. I don't like that. Let them be individuals.

I HATE Xander as a full name. I don't mind it as a nick name for Alexander, though. I think Alexander Donovan would be much better.

Nathan and Natalie are too matchy for my taste. I love Elizabeth, though.

I actually like Xander sooo much better than Donovan but it's an honouring name for her and well it's not spelled wrong or anything so it's ok in my book.

I don't think Natalie and Nathan are too matchy and the entire combo of Natalie, Nathan and Elizabeth is really nice.

I really like all the names, but I don't like Nathan and Natalie as a sib set...

Yeah it sounds like the jerky popular guy in high school or something.
