Love both the names!

One of the boys names for my future child is George Alexander.

Works perfectly well the other way round too 😁 x

I love Alexander. George has a more stodgy sound to me and I like the fact that Alexander has been continuously popular rather than coming and going in popularity like George has, so I think there is less chance of it sounding dated in a few years. Also there are so many diminutives for Alexander that he is bound to find a version of his name that he likes of the full version turns out not to be to his taste.

Alexander is fab. George is fine but a bit too Royal and stodgy for my liking.

Alexander, but I really don't like Alex.

I'm not a fan of George. It's pudgy sounding.
