Baby Boy Name Poll..

Still narrowing down names and am OPEN to other suggestions but these are two that hubby and I both like... Thoughts?  We want something different but not TOO different haha.[Poll]

I have a cousin named Breck.

I might end up being in the minority, but I think Brecken is really cute! I'm not a fan of Alexander, though I prefer the nickname Xander to the full name.

I like Brecken, but I prefer it spelled Breckin.

I know - I don't care as much for Alexander as a name that we would use - we would definitely go by Xander.  The Alexander would be more so for resume purposes later on in life  We really like BOTH names a lot though~ it may be a hospital decision honestly, but I'm glad I can put it on here to see how others think!

I also almost put "breckin" on there too because I wondered how we should spell it if we did - I don't want him to be mistaken for a girl.

Brecken does not seem masculine to me at all so I picked Alexander.  I like the nn Alex though.

Alexander is on our list and I like it a thousand times more than Brecken.  I'm not the biggest fan of Xander as a nickname though, but I still like it better than Brecken.  I don't know, it just sounds harsh- like a brick, combined with the surname Beckham.  So I basically picture a brick playing soccer, lol.

That may very well be the most unique (and stunningly creative) name association I've ever heard, haha.

My son's name is Xander. Honestly, I do not think that Xander needs the Alexander behind it for resumes, it does just fine on its own.

If you don't like Alexander then don't use it, just use Xander.

I strongly dislike Brecken.

Alexander nicknamed Alex.  I hate Zander - sorry!

 

Haha - it's just not some people's preference, thanks for your honesty

Ditto all of this. My son is Xander, the name stands on its own just fine.

Wow, for once I'm in the majority. Between the two, I like Alexander. Breck sounds pretentious and somewhat like a parent's overcompensating for never having made it in the entertainment industry.

Both names are great! Congrats on your baby boy!
