Hi, I'm stuck between 2 names I basically like them the same amount so it's really hard to choose.
Can you help sway me either way?

Thanks x

Joshua is less used. I think I prefer it because of that.

Josh is very common just now. I don't know any kids called Alex just now and I worked in the biggest nursery in my city

There are thousands of men/boys and women/girls called Alex already! Unless you have a very uncommon surname, I’d avoid an ubiquitous name like Alex.
