Will probably end up as Alex/Oli, but I'll try and use the full names.

I don't love Alexander but I do love Alex. So I vote for Alexander.

Love Alexander

Both extremely popular but overall I prefer Ollie

Love Alexander. Oliver is meh - I don't understand its popularity at all.

My vote's for Alexander.

My 3 week old is Alexander! (His brother calls him Xander and we call him Alex!)

We have an Alexander who is an Alex, but sometimes also an Al, or a Leccie, or a Sasha, or a Lex, or a Sandy.

Alexander.

Best boys name ever.

Like both. Of the two Alexander as I prefer Alex to Ollie. I really like Alec. They are both very popular names.

thethoughtfox · 04/12/2016 18:00

Both gorgeous but both very common now

KlingybunFistelvase · 04/12/2016 18:04

Alexander by a smidgen though I like both almost equally.

iwantaperfectsoul · 04/12/2016 18:08

Alexander. Great name and so many good short names you can choose from it.

Oliver's a nice name too but I'm not a fan of Olly/Ollie.

Oliver
