Love both the names!

One of the boys names for my future child is George Alexander.

Works perfectly well the other way round too 😁 x

George would be my choice

Cineraria · 17/07/2018 16:16

I love Alexander. George has a more stodgy sound to me and I like the fact that Alexander has been continuously popular rather than coming and going in popularity like George has, so I think there is less chance of it sounding dated in a few years. Also there are so many diminutives for Alexander that he is bound to find a version of his name that he likes of the full version turns out not to be to his taste.

George.

Icklepup · 17/07/2018 18:19

George

DaniCam89 · 17/07/2018 18:33

I personally prefer Alexander. X

IVflytrap · 17/07/2018 18:36

Alexander, by far.

Imhertwopennyprince · 17/07/2018 18:39

George!
I prefer Alexandra to Alexander so would rather have George and then a daughter called Alexandra

BewareOfDragons · 17/07/2018 18:40

Detest the name George.

Alexander is a nice name.

SleepWarrior · 17/07/2018 18:40

Alexander

TroubledLichen · 17/07/2018 18:42

Both classics, you can’t go far wrong with either but personally I much prefer Alexander.

sonnyboo · 17/07/2018 19:30

George as there are so many girl and boy Alexes already.

notsolittlegrebe · 17/07/2018 20:46

Alexander is fab. George is fine but a bit too Royal and stodgy for my liking.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 17/07/2018 21:33

George.
I like Alexander but not Alex.

RedDwarves · 17/07/2018 22:09

Alexander, but I really don't like Alex.

I'm not a fan of George. It's pudgy sounding.

TatianaLarina · 17/07/2018 22:14

Alexander George.

Flamingosnbears · 17/07/2018 22:16

Both gemrat names one of which I've chosen

Mammatron · 17/07/2018 22:26

Alexander!

butlerswharf · 17/07/2018 22:39

100% George Smile

finallychangedmyusername · 17/07/2018 23:12

Alexander by far.

DramaAlpaca · 17/07/2018 23:56
