Answer 13

Oh my god I love them! William (Will) is a name I am considering for my baby if it's a boy (but praying for PINK this time). Alexander is a VERY gorgeous name. It's one of my favorite middle names. David is great too, my brother's name. I say William though ;)

Answer 14

Very strong names. I like the name William and calling him Wills like the  Prince in England.  

Answer 15

Go with David Alexander.

William Alexander sounds too colonial.

Answer 16

They are both lovely!  Both names have a strong, masculine, regal sound.  

Whenever I can't decide between two names, I try to consider their meaning, their popularity, their history, and their nickname potential.  William means "will/desire and helmet/protection."  David means "beloved."  William was ever-so-slightly more popular than David among baby boys born last year, but not enough that it should sway you one way or the other.  William has been borne by rulers of Normandy and England as well as numerous authors (Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Blake, Yeats, and Faulkner).  David is a biblical name, most famously borne by the Israelite king who was "a man after God's own heart."  William I think has better nicknames -- I definitely prefer Will to Dave.

Considering all this (especially the nickname options), I think I slightly prefer William Alexander.

Answer 17

David Alexander =)

With William Alexander, it can be shortened to Bill Alexander and that reminds me of that painter guy lol

So yeah, I like David
