Is the name 'Zander' kind of babyish?
I have been using 'Zander' as my English name for a couple of years, but it seems that this name is kind of babyish(As far as I know, it's a nickname of 'Alexander', and it's a common last name for many Americans, but I use it as first name ).
I really want to know real opinions of native speakers for this name. What's your thought when you heard of this name?
By the way, I would appreciate if you could recommend me for some other English names.
My first name is Zheng, so I really hope the name would sound like 'Zheng' to some extent, just like 'Zander'.
