Alex or Tom?

[Josh1989]

Will write Alexander/Thomas on the birth certificate. But which name do people on here prefer? Thanks

Alexander:) more nn for him to choose from!

Both nice but I prefer Tom.

I have a Tom and his best mate is Alex!
Both great names.

Don’t buy an Alexa smart speaker, or you’ll all end up demented.

Alex

Tom

But Alex is fine as well.

My DP is Thomas Alexander. Excellent choice of names

My little boys middle name is Thomas I love it x

Alex

Alex

I wanted Thomas Alexander for DS1 but DH vetoed Alexander so he's Thomas something else. Known as Tom to most people except us. I like Tom but it just seems like a different name when I've always called him Thomas.

Anyway I got my way with Alexander when DS2 came along. It's a middle name so not shortened,though my Dad used to call him Alec sometimes. But then he also called him. Brian...after the snail in The Magic Roundabout

Both fab names whichever you choose though I'd probably go with Thomas/Tom as a first name.
