One week old - Alex or Cameron ?

Alex or Cameron ?

Congratulations, I'd go for Alexander known as Alex. Cameron just makes me think David, sorry.

Yes I think Alexander too, for the same reasons

And congrats!

Aaah, lovely tiny fresh baby. Alexander for me too, for the same reasons as PP.

Cameron
Love Alex too but I've met 5 under 18 months recently

Cameron. Loads of Alex/Alexanders!

Alexander "Alex"

Cameron.

Hopefully the David association will be gone by the time he's a teenager.

For my love of Ferris Bueller alone.

Let my Cameron goooo...

Cameron - much nicer than Alex

Cameron is just horrid, PM aside. Usually pronounced with the middle syllable missing entirely and I'm certain that's not correct. That's why you see the occasional Cam'ron Nice meaning too if you set any store by meanings.

Alexander by 100 country miles.

Nope, I think it will take more than a decade or so before 'call me Dave' associations disappear.

Alexander/Alex

Cameron. My 6 month DS is allied this and he's the only one I know. It's not crazy unusual but there's unlikely to be 5 of them in the class. We shorten DS's to Cam.

I love the name Alexander with the nicknames Alex or Xander- very handsome names x

Cameron Alexander is a lovely name.

Both good but Alex is my slight preference.

Alex. Just Alex.

Alexander is a bit smug.

I used to go out with a Cameron so think of him before I think of Dave. But to be honest neither of them are men I like being reminded of.

Alex

Alex/ander, Cameron is the PM.

Cameron. Not keen on Alex but Alexander ok as a middle name.

Cameron

Quite like Alexander nn Xander or Al but really dislike Alex.

I called my son (now 2) Alexander. It wasn't on our list - we chose it on the way back from the hospital. We went for it because:

• we have a short surname,
• lots of nn possibilities (Alex, Sandy, Zander etc)
• it's quite an international name - you could be Greek or Australian and you'd know how to pronounce it.

I couldn't use Cameron now I'm afraid.

Ps he's the only Alexander in his group at nursery - weird but it's not that common. He calls himself 'Ali' but don't know if that's because he's not got the hang of 'x's yet.

Just don't go for both together (as in Alex for first name, Cameron for middle) as this is the name of call-me-Dave's brother.

I prefer Alexander which is my DS' middle name.

Cameron is a fab name and very quickly you won't think of anything except your DS, and if you name him that and he's a person with the name rather than just s potential name people will think of it as his name rather than someone else

But Alexander is also a good name too
