Adam or Alexander?

[James1989]

Which do people prefer? The rest of the full name will be Samuel Holding. Thanks

Alexander

Either. Adam is rarer, yet traditional.

@ThroughThickAndThin01 met a few young Adams about strangely.

Adam. I prefer short names.

I prefer Alexander

All the Adams I knew in school were a bit dim so I think that’s put me off.

I’d go with Alexander, though I agree that’s shorter name sounds better with your surname.

I love both, but would pick Adam.

I love Alexander and Alex for short. Would seriously have considered it for my DS, if I didn't have two exes both named Alex

Two of my favourite names! I'd go for Alexander as you can shorten it. I love Sasha for short.

Alexander. I love it. Don't like Adam. All the ones I've met irl have been hard work.

One of my earliest memories is about the name Adam. My parents used to call me a little madam. Then when I started playschool I swore blind to my mum there was a little boy named 'Madam', obviously he was an Adam.

Both lovely. Alexander goes better with the rest of the name though.

Like them both, Alexander slightly more since you can shorten it but I think Adam goes better with the rest. Can't really go wrong with either though

Alexander is my favourite

Like them both. Adam probably nudges it.

Both excellent names, and love the middle name too.
I lean towards Adam

Love them both, but Adam for me.

Adam is a bit 80s but not cool. Alexander is a timeless classic

Love Alexander!

Alexander is lovely. I’m not keen on Adam. I don’t know anyone under 45 called Adam.

Alexander sounds much better than Adam

Alexander

Both really great names!

Like both but prefer Adam as it's less common

I have one, so Adam! Alexander is also great though.
