Middle name - which one?

Baby boy due early next year, we've decided on a first name but can't decide on the middle.

Our two choices are:

Flynn Asher
Flynn Alexander

Which do you prefer? Our surname is 2 syllables.

Asher is my choice, I like that its more unusual and not 'filler' and that it has a lovely meaning (Happy/Blessed), which I love as we've had a difficult journey to parenthood.
Alexander is my husband's choice, Asher is too out there for him and I must admit it flows better. However it just feels a bit expected/unexciting to me.

We've gone with an A initial as a its a bit of a family tradition but open to other middle name suggestions (please no first name suggestions its took us too long to decide on this one!)

Thanks!

Alexander is better, I like Flynn too, You know, Alexander has a wonderful meaning too. Protector of mankind I think? And mankind needs protecting right now, I think it's lovely. Even though Asher means blessed - you'll know looking at your little bit every day how blessed you are, he won't need it in his name, he'll carry it in his being. Good luck x
