All lovely. I can see why it's hard to choose! I would probably go with James too.

Rory, or James/Jamie.

Not that big a fan of Alexander. It's too long. Alex is ok but it starts with 'alle'

Rory Or Alexander, James is very common (as in popular!)

Rory. Great name. I am partial to Ruairi instead but Rory is also lovely.

Alexander...I'm a bit meh on this, the nicknames Alex/Zander do nothing for me and the overall name too long and a bit dull (imo - sorry to Alexanders out there). Lex as a nickname...I could go for that though!
I have also taught quite a few Alexanders as well, so the popularity puts me off a bit.

James I much prefer to Alexander but it is popular. I have only taught one of these, mind, but I imagine that's a bit different in the UK.

We must be in sync - I have a Rory Patrick and a Leo Alexander and my husband is called James Grin So my advice is... all three!
