Alexander. But be prepared to be that parent that only calls them their full name when they're in trouble!!!

Both are lovely.

Alexander.

What about Alec or Noam?

Alexander - more scope for nicknames. Noah seems to be very popular at the moment if that is a concern.

Fair point mitzy!! I just happen to know a couple of really great kids who are called xander

MitzyLeFrouf · 29/01/2017 06:12

Yuck, not Xander. Reminds me of that plonker Alexander 'call me Xander' Armstrong.

Fruitboxjury · 29/01/2017 06:05

Alexander nn Xander

Personal views only I really don't like the name Noah at all

Chottie · 29/01/2017 05:56

Another vote for Noah, lots of Alex's around here too.

If you're in the NW, Alexander. Noah is pretty common here and sounds terrible depending where you're from!

Noah.

Alexander is done to death.

FreddoFrog · 29/01/2017 04:36

Alexander. One of my favourite names.

lizzieoak · 29/01/2017 04:27

Noah, 100%. My kids had loads of Alex's in their classes, but zero Noah's.

MarilynWhirlwindRocks · 29/01/2017 04:02

Same from me: Alex/ Alexander.
