Just, whatever you name him, actually call him that, ok? You can call him, like Dave if his name is David, but don't go around calling him Alex because his middle name is Alexander.
My first name is my dad's name, but my middle name is a name my mom liked. Well, I've always been called by my middle name. It was a pain in the *** in grade school. Every year, I would tell the teacher that yeah, my name says that on the role. No, I don't go by that. I go by this name. Ok?
They wouldn't get it down until at least two weeks later.
