I know its fairly common, but we seem to be settling on Alexander/Alex. I can't think of any drawbacks. Can you?

Besides it being so common like you've stated, none I can think of. It's a great name.

It's super popular, so thats the only drawback.
We've settled on Alexander for our son. It's actually my maiden name, so DH thought it was perfect.
