Alex or Nathaniel ? (our baby born on Monday)

[DiscoBear]

Alex definitely

Nathaniel

I have an Alex and a Nathan, so either one

Alex

Alex

Both are nice

Alex. But as nn with Alexander as the full name.

I know so many baby Alex 's. It's a nice name but I'd choose Nathaniel

Alexander

Alex

Ooh I also have an Alex (Alexander) and a Nathan.

Not helpful! I think Nathan is probably slightly less common (as in popular).

I like Nathaniel Would you want shortenings, or just insist on Nathaniel? I would have insisted on Nathaniel, so I didn't want it for my boys because it would have annoyed me if people hadn't stuck to it.

I have ishoos with someone called Alex, which always clouds my judgement!

Alex if Alexander. Otherwise Nathaniel

Nathaniel - it's a better full name, but Alex is nice. However, I would have Alexander and call him Alex, if that's what you wanted :) x

Nathaniel called Nate

I voted Nathaniel on your original thread, and that still holds.

Nathaniel

Alex

Are you asking a question or telling us you've called him Alex?
