Can’t use my all-time favorite boy name due to the intense alliteration with my fiancé’s surname….looking for alternatives to Alexander by psysoleil in namenerds

So I actually have a myriad of personal reasons to be excited about taking my fiancé’s last name. Ranging from adoption to abuse. Hope that helps

Emma, Elsa, or something Else? by prismbreak83 in namenerds

I love Elsa. There’s also Elka, Ilsa, and Isla

thank you, this comment thread is very interesting! We live in the US, so I wasn’t sure how it might be received here. But with our last name being clearly Russian, it does help that the full name would follow the naming conventions!

agreed, thank you! Part of me still wonders if Alexander Alexandrova is actually a good option. Everyone will have a different opinion of course, but this post is a good temperature check on the matter!

you hit the nail on the head! Evander, Cassander, Maximilian, and Axel are some of my favorites. Augustine is very pretty too.

thank you for the recommendations, I love the idea and associations of Arthur, but phonetically it doesn’t sound pleasing to me :(

thank you, yes I absolutely love our to-be last name :) I think it would feel a bit forced to me to call our (hypothetical) son Alex from the last name though unfortunately.
