Wesley or Alexander?

Help please.
Which do you like?
I'm worried Alexander is too common.
And after looking up the meaning of Wesley, which is Western Meadow, I now can't stop associating it with sounding more feminine.
Someone tell me if this is crazy talk (DH says yes and I suspect he is right).

Re: Wesley or Alexander?
I prefer Alexander, though Wesley is a good solid name as well.
I do NOT think Westey is feminine.

I think what's screwing me up is at first we both liked Wesley. However, Alexander was a name I had on my list that DH really started to like. I wasn't as in love with it as some of the other names I had, but DH kept dropping hints and even started calling the baby 'Little Alex'. So I kind of mentally started adjusting to his name being 'Alexander' even though we hadn't officially decided.
Now DH is leaning towards Wesley again because of Alexander being more common and he thinks he may have a cousin with that name. So the sudden change is kind of messing me up because I think I had accepted Alexander as his name in my head. >.<
Wesley by a landslide. I love it.
Alexander is nice but too common, IMO.

I usually don't like names that are too common, but Alexander is classic.
Wesley sounds country, trendy and a little weak.
Wesley, although I'm a bit biased
I love how it's such a normal sounding name, but it's not at all popular.
