Which name do you prefer?

1. Alex
2. Jason

State reason if any. Thanks.

Not desperately keen on either.

I quite like Alex, not keen on Jason at all.

Like gymboywalton I also think 1970s scally.

Alex

Alex

Alex - Jason also sounds like Wayne/Sharon to me, too 70's and not been left long enough yet. Though Jay is nice.

As a name, Jason, because it's a strong name with great classical associations. Alex is a diminutive so not really a 'name' to me. But Jason is still a bit 80s. Shame because it's really handsome.

Neither particularly do anything for me, sorry.

Alex no contest. Jason is naff, common and very 70's.

Alex

Jason, simply because Alex is a nickname.

However I'd put Alexander (with nn Alex) far above Jason.

Alexander, with Alex as preferred nn.

Jason would work better only if you are an erudite family of classicists (ie if it's obvious you were thinking of the Golden Fleece, not half of Donovan and Minogue).

Jason is terrible . I like Alexander but not Alex tho Xander is nice!

Alexander or neither alex or jason. I don't like alex as a stand alone name and I know too many jasons mid to late 20's and they are all fucknuggets. It puts me off.

Alex or Alexander. I really don't like Jason!

Alex is a perfectly fine stand alone name.

Alex

Alex is quite timeless but Jason is very 70s and 80s

Alex.

I don't like Jason.

I do like Justin though, which is quite close to Jason.

Alex, without question!

Alex. Jason is a bit crap, sorry - of an equivalent datedness with Kylie.

Jason is NOT ready for a comeback. Its...in the same ball park as Darren, to me. Sorry.

Alex is very very popular, but nice enough.

Jason is a terrible name to anyone around in the 70s - it's so bad it is funny. But if you are young, then maybe it sounds good.

Alexander is lovely, but might get more popular still now that Kate and Will have used it.

Alex is a little dull imo. And unisex.

Jason may sound dated to anyone over 35 but the younger generation won't have any associations. Jason, nickname Jay, could be very cool! Clearly masculine and underused.

I prefer Alex it's more modern.
