Alexander John is great.

Answer 15

Alexander Richard sounds the best.  I know that wasn't an option though, so go for Alexander John out of your choices.

No, they are not over-used or old fashioned.  I like all of your suggestions.

Answer 16

When you think of names always think of what their friends will call them for short, for example Dominic John will be either DJ or Dom. Whilst Alexander John will never be AJ (it doesn't roll off the tongue) but he would be called Alex. The Richard part can be shortened to d**k so personally it wouldn't be a good idea. Neither are too old fashioned and at the end of the day its what you want that counts...

Answer 17

I definitely think Alexander John is the best name. Its a good strong name and sounds more masculine than Dominic.

Answer 18

If you're goona go with Dominic, then Dominic Richard sounds better. If your'e going with Alexander, then Alexander John.

I personally like Alexander John better. And I think old fashioned names are better...these are not old fashioned. So you have nothing to worry about. :)

Answer 19

I don't like the name Dominic but I think Dominic Richard sounds really cute. I like Alexander better but I don't like the middle names with it. Alex Richard sounds cute, though.

Answer 20

Alexander John!!!!

Alex, Xander, Johnny, John or AJ

Great name :)

Answer 21

i like dominic richard.

Answer 22

Oooh, that's so hard, both are on my favorites list! I'd have to say that I kind of perfer Alexander, only for the fact that he coud be called Zander/Xander as a nickname, which is adorable!

I think Alexander John sounds really good, but if you choose Dominic, I like Dominic Richard.

And, no, I don't think either are old-fashioned or over-used, they're great. =)

Good luck!

Answer 24

Yep. Alexander John is a great name. He'll end up being a strong rounded person with a name like that.

I used to like Dominic but not so much any more i think its a bit of a faddy name. Alexander is good.

Answer 25

Alexander John!

Not old fashioned I really like them :0)

But then I named my son Alex (not Alexander) Michael So i'm like you and like the normal, simple decent names

Its sooooo ncie to find someone on ehre who isnt giving their baby and really unplesant made up name!

Answer 26

Also depends on your last name.

Dominic Alexander is my favorite but only if you have a one syllable last name like Smith.

Richard Alexander

I agree with everyone that Alexander John sounds better but it does sound very classic. Dominic sounds more interesting to me but there are none where I live.

Answer 27

Alexander John!!

Answer 28

alexander john is great

Answer 29

I don't like Dominic, so I say Alexander John. However, neither is old-fashioned, but Alexander is over-used in my opinion. It's still better than Dominic to me though.

Answer 30

Alexander John is very cute. Or, why not Dominic and have Alexander as the middle name if you're truly torn between the two.
