I’m the opposite! Both lovely cool classic names, but I prefer the regal [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].

I would say [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] personally, just because I know sooo many baby [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]’s and Ollies in recent years. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] has lots of nickname options, my favorites being [name_u]Lex[/name_u], [name_m]Xander[/name_m], and [name_m]Anders[/name_m]

I prefer [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], as [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] has gotten quite popular recently (even though both are pretty popular anyways). [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] just has a very regal feeling to it

I love [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]! It feels a little softer to me but still full of energy. I like the versatility of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], but I honestly just know a lot of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]’s and [name_u]Alex[/name_u]’s. I do think [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] is technically more popular right now, though. They’re really both great can’t-go-wrong options but [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] gets my vote!

I have an [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]. [name_u]Oliver[/name_u] is too expected and lackluster for me. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] is regal, strong and has many great nicknames

Hmmm…both are strong, classic names, but I think I prefer [name_m]Alexander[/name_m].

I would go with [name_u]Oliver[/name_u], though I like them both. [name_f]Every[/name_f] [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] I’ve ever met goes by [name_u]Alex[/name_u], which does nothing for me personally. [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] nn [name_u]Lex[/name_u] or [name_u]Andy[/name_u] or something would more likely sway me vote.

Both are wonderful, but I love the timelessness and classic feel of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m], especially with the versatile nickname options if your son preferred them. :white_heart:
