Alexander Philip is wonderful. Yes, the conqueror thing is there, but only to nerds. I doubt most would pick up on it. This one is my favorite of the three.

Alexander Garth doesn't work for me at all. Are variants of family names OK? Alexander Gareth flows better to my ear. Huh? I just looked up Garth and see that Gareth isn't a variant. Wonders and Brexit votes will never cease. Still, Alexander Gareth could honor Garth. The name is contained in Gareth. Food for thought.

Alexander Idris is magical. Love it. :0)

Thanks! Not a Gareth fan, either. It's the soft th sound that I just don't like, I've come to realize! I also really dislike Keith (also a top family name we should use but just can't because no good :/) and Seth and probably anything else I can think of ending with that sound.

Fair enough. Undaunted:

Alexander Garrick
Alexander Garrett
Alexander Garvan / Garbhan
Alexander Garnet
Alexander Berengar -- not the best flow though
Alexander Edgar -- ditto
Alexander Oscar / Osgar
Alexander Hrodgar -- kitchen sink time
Alexander Beauregard

Notice Gary (~~shudder~~) not included on the list. :0P
