DH and I both like Alexander (Alex) and William (Will), but are both worried that the names are too popular (in the top ten a few years running). Any thoughts, ladies. Is our boy going to be one of 5 in his class with either of those names?
They are popular, but they also have a classic feel to them. I don't think they will ever feel "dated", unlike some of the up-and-coming names (like Logan, Riley, etc.)
If you love them, I would say go for them! They are strong choices. If you are worried about the popularity thing, there are names with similar feels that may be a little less popular.
Honestly, if you like them... Use them. They are so classic and beautiful. I don't think anyone would give you a hard time for choosing them. Well, at least not me!
