I think Alexander has always been a pretty consistently popular name. And it has been used throughout my family. Edward should've been Alexander Edward, not Edward Alexander as he was named.

I will give you the fact that had your first one lived and been given that name, that would've been unique. Then probably shortened to Alex....

I like the idea of the Zoe palindrome because no matter whether she changes her surname she's still got the oz there...! I will campaign for it!

I think it's just that there are so many people nowadays anything you think is original has been done millions of times before...
