Boys name poll

[discoclare]

Votes please! The surname begins with C if that influences anyone's opinions. I think I am going off Reuben a bit. I love Xander but can't think what you would shorten it to and I would really prefer a name that can be shortened. Also some friends of my OH have said that they think Xander is a very posh name and we would have to send our child to an expensive prep school to get away with that (which we won't be doing). I didn't think it sounded especially posh - does anyone have an opinion on whether Xander sounds posh or not?
Thanks guys. This is my first poll in the names section but I'm sure it won't be my last over the next few months!

I like Lincoln, Fletcher and Xander and don't think it sounds too posh at all. If you like it, go for it!

I voted Lincoln, but I'm biased since we're naming our baby that if it's a boy lol

I love the name Xander, it's on our shortlist. Doesn't sound posh to me at all and no need to shorten it as it's already shortened from Alexander!
