What do you think of the name Zander with my last name?

Zander Krietzburg

 

We want a modern name, something different..but not too crazy so that anyone gets made fun of.  Any other suggestions? (nothing traditional please) thanks!

I personally like Zander. It sounds fine with your last name to me.

I have only thought of girl names and was going to be sad if I have a boy..ill know in a few weeks.  This name makes me excited if we do have a boy.  To me it is hip and strong, intelligent, edgy sounding. I just have to convince my husband.  As long as there isn't some kind of bad nickname, which I can't think of, im sure he will like it too.

I think its very cute and I can't think of any bad nicknames, myself. I hope you can convince your husband, if its a little fella kicking inside you! Best of luck with names

That actually has kind of a cool effect, with the two Z's. I think it works.

Good luck!  I think it's a great combination!

I sounds good with your last name, I'm not a fan of the name itself but it goes with your last name.

I think it's very striking and sounds like someone I would want to meet - as odd as that sounds.  I just mean it's "ear" catching!  I like it!

It sounds fine, but I prefer Zander- or Xander- as a NN for Alexander (which I also think would sound good with your last name).

sounds good to me.

I am not a fan of Zander.

If you want my honest opinion, I think names like Zander/ Xander make it seem like the parents are trying too hard to be "cool." (Other names that fall into this category for me: Maddox, Jaxon, Pax, and Knox. It must be the trendiness combined with the Xs and Zs I guess.) If you must use Zander, I would suggest using it as a nn for Alexander. That way your son would have a classic name to use as adult.

As a mother of a soon to be Xandar, you are very very wrong in your thinking. No one in my house is "trying to be cool" or "trendy".

OP- I obviously love it

I HATE the name Alexander..had an abusive ex. We are 'cool' people and want a trendy name.  We look young, some tattoos, surfers, open minded..it fits us and our personalities.  No old school, traditional, or biblical for me.  Thank you for your opinions everyone!

 For a girls name I have choosen Gemma, with the middle name of June (my grandmothers name)

 I love that name because it isn't used much here, mainly in the UK.

I thought Gemma was really popular in the UK.  At any rate, I like it a lot better than Zander.

Zander gets hated on a lot around here but I've always loved it.

courtneyklv

Gemma isn't used much in the usa..and that is where I live..because I haven't heard it here.

 

And that would be the girls name.  Zander for the boys name.
