I love love love this name. It is so strong and firm! And how could u not love it, Defender of Mankind. Come on! What a great alternative to Alexander!

We have been debating over what to name our son. My husband is deploying to Afghanistan and is a huge history buff so he thought Alexander would be a great name, but so common. We chose Xander for its meaning and neither of us have ever known anyone named this.
