Alexander Charles sounds great with your surname.
Both names are very nice.

Either works. I slightly lean to Francis.

Alexander Charles 💙 lovely names

Alexander Francis
We are also Jacksons and Alexander is what I would have called a boy! It's my dad's name and I just like it. Francis is cool too.

Prefer the Francis as the name meanings link better than Charles imo. Love Alexander btw!

DramaAlpaca · 22/06/2020 22:16

Francis

Alexander Charles
(I have an Alexander too 😁)

Katherine1990 · 23/06/2020 22:49

@SnowdropFox what do you mean? I remember looking both the names up - Charles and Francis both mean “free man” so I’m not sure what you mean when you say the name meanings link better.

Alexander Charles

Charles

EugenesAxe · 23/06/2020 23:39

I prefer Francis for some reason.

GlamGiraffe · 23/06/2020 23:47

I like the name charles better but think francis flows better when the names are put together so for that reason I'd choose the latter I think. Do you have no preference OP?
