It's not based on the character in Buffy called Xander; I've been known as Zander since I was a small kid which is to say decades before Buffy hit our screens.A few people call me Alex but I'm not particularly fond of that.My girlfriend calls me something endearing but unflattering based on the fact that I used to be obese - I'm normal weight now. But I'm not going to tell you what she calls me!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek!    :o"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /> My surname is Simkin, hence my sig.When I was in secondary school I was variously known as Smitkin, Schmitkin, Slim-Jim and even Slim-Jim Phantom as well as Alex and Zander.Keeping track of who knows me as what is quite a chore.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
