Also wanted to add that Xander has done very well as a stand alone name for my son. This board in general likes to pick on Xander a lot saying that it should only be a nickname however, it seems to be a double standard....
The following nickname names are for some reason deemed ok- Liam, Ben, Chris, Sam, Nate, John, Luke, Jack, Alex, Max, Matt.... I could go on.
My point to this post is just that Zander or Xander work just fine without Alexander just as some other names do.
I like Andrew. My personal tendency is to shy away from names that I would characterize as "cute," and for me Spencer falls into that category (I know many would disagree). The kid won't stay an adorable 3-year-old forever...

Funny, my brother just said the same thing about the name Zander.
Thanks :-)
I like Carter, Andrew, and Xander with your last name.
