Alexander Thomas for me. Also worth looking at which shortened name you prefer - Alex or Tom?

Porkchop, no real issues with surname, begins with a c.
Saltcod, I definitely prefer the shortened versions of Alexander, but like Thomas Alexander better as a name!

Thomas Alexander does flow more easily, but I too prefer Alexander as the first name ...so Alexander Thomas for me!

Same as Melina and Esme, I prefer Alexander to Thomas (although there is not much in it tbh) as I like Alex a shade over Tom. But having said that Thomas Alexander does run better. I'd still go for Alexander Thomas though because I prefer it as a first name.
