Xander and Gunnar

[gf-girlie.livejournal.com]

Yep!

[nobodynomore.livejournal.com]

Xander & Gunner, but Gunnar also is completely fine. Zander is a no.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Xander and the angry pack of squirrels :P

[mellowmetallica.livejournal.com]

Xander for sure, I'd side-eye anyone who spelled it "Zander".
Either, though I like Gunnar a little better I don't really care.

[chesterismyhero.livejournal.com]

Xander. That's my 7 year olds name.

[jeweledvixen.livejournal.com]

Xander and Gunnar

[designingdreams.livejournal.com]

Xander.

Neither. I don't like how it has the word 'gun' in it.

[jexia]

Yep.

(and I have a Xander)

Mine just turned eight :)

Zander and Gunnar. Names beginning with an X don't look right to me.

Ohhhh you've caught me out with two of my favourite names.

Gunnar FOR SURE. My family are Latvian, and Gunnar is a very common name there, so there can be no other spelling. My boy name for my baby on the way is Aleksandr - again, Eastern European spelling, so I'm always at a loss for how to spell this other nickname.

Pretty much, I'd say Xander for most main English-speaking countries. But in countries where the letter X is not in the alphabet (like in Latvia), it would have to be Zander.

[magpiefirefly.livejournal.com]

This.

[rachannaq.livejournal.com]

Zander, Gunnar

[behindgrey-eyes.livejournal.com]

Xander and Gunnar :)

[mariah00.livejournal.com]

We weren't sure which was the original between Gunnar/Gunner which is why I posted the question :-)

[fiending.livejournal.com]

I have a friend with a Xander and a friend with a Gunner, so I'm partial to those.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[clutchedpearls.livejournal.com]

Xander and Gunner.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

Xander and Gunnar, although I prefer Alexander and I can't stand the name Gunnar.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Xander, for sure. Gunnar versus Gunner...a little tougher, but the edge goes to Gunnar, lol. It looks more like a name, as opposed to an occupation.

[earn-my-wings.livejournal.com]

Zander and Gunnnar

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Much prefer Gunner. Not a fan of the name Xander, but I think the X is slightly preferable to the Z.

[becomingun.livejournal.com]

Dislike Xander is a BIG BIG BIG BIG WAY(possibly my least favourite actual name ever). But Xander is better than Zander by a small margin.

Gunnar.

[morgensw.livejournal.com]

Agreed :D

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Xander and Gunnar
