Which one do you prefer? DS1 is Samuel.

Could I also have some middle name ideas for both?

Thanks!

Love Alexander. I would just Xander as a NN.

Both very popular. I prefer George as we know so so many male and female Alexes!

Alexander for me.

George is sooooo popular, but it is a lovely name.

Alexander is nice too and can be shortened to Alex or Zander which are also nice!

you can't shorten George though, so if you are after a name you can't shorten then George is the way to go! :)

They are two of Prince George's names! You have very regal taste Wink.

I prefer George. It is short and punchy while Alexander is a bit of a mouthful. Lots of NN options with Alexander though, but I'm not especially keen on any of them and quite dislike Xander and Alec.
