We keep going back and forth on the order of the names. I want to incorporate Thomas in honor of my grandpa, whom I miss every day. Alexander is just a name we both like. (My husband has an uncommon name, and is set on giving a common name to our baby.) If we go with Alexander, we will call him Alex. If we go with Thomas, we will call him Tommy. Nicknames are subject to change as he gets older, depending on what baby likes.
I voted Thomas. Both are common/normal names so no worries there but I don't know any little Tommys running around anymore and there are alotnof Alex's.
I voted Thomas for a first name. Although I dislike the NN Tommy and prefer Tom. But you're right, with both names baby will eventually get to choose what he is called.
