Alexander or Sebastian for DS2?

We have managed to narrow our list of names for DS2 to Alexander (Alex) or Sebastian (Seb). DS1 is Thomas. Alex is perhaps more popular if you take into account the Alexanders, the Alexs and the Alexandras at school. But Sebastian is getting v. popular where I live. What do you think?

I love the name Alexander.

I have an Alexander - but have never called him that and he's 2.5 now! We call him Xander

Alexander is my favourite boys name.

Alexander. Smile

Like both but think that Alexander goes slightly better with Thomas. Perhaps as Captain Barnacle suggests you could use a more unusual nm.

I prefer Alexander. Sebastian is OK.

Alexander without a shadow of a doubt. Sebastian is so wet. Apologies to all parents of Sebastians.
