Which middle name?

We have decided on the name Alexander and my surname as a middle name but we also want to honour my grandfather and/or my husband’s grandfather as a middle, but we can’t decide on which name to use—and it’s a bit much to use both since we want to use my surname as well I think! Which do you prefer?Smile

Alexander Charles
Alexander Frederick

I think Charles works better

I agree with Charles :) but both do sound nice (sorry not helpful!)

how do the initials work? we had a swerve as our son was nearly TDS (although he thinks that would have been hilarious)

Well, Charles is obviously less of a mouthful especially since Alexander is long and there are two other names to come! Maybe save Frederick for another baby, nice as it is.

Thanks all! Looks like Charles it is—my husband’s family name wins this timeHmm but I do agree it flows better
