Help us decide - down to 2 boys names...

We are trying to decide between Bradley and Alexander for DS#2.  I don't mind popular names as long as they are not trendy.  DS#1 is Samuel, but we call him Sam.  Both DH and I have very common traditional names and we use 1-syllable nicknames.  Our last name is relatively common and two syllables (think "Merit").  We are big nickname users, so the baby will likely end up being Brad or Alex/Zander.  We have already decided on the middle name, Titus, as it was my great-grandfathers name and we both love it.   

So, the choices are:

1.  Bradley "Brad" Titus

2.  Alexander "Alex" Titus

Please vote

TIA!

Samuel and Alexander are both classic names for boys.

Alexander times 1000X

Alexander and Samuel go together as a sib set

Alexander and Bradley, do not.

Love Titus with Alexander, but hate it with Bradley.

Love Alex or Xander (spelled this way) for a NN.

I think Alexander Titus fits much better than Bradley Titus.  And I like Sam and Alex over Sam and Brad.

A tough one!

I think Alexander goes with Samuel better.

Yet, Bradley Titus seems to flow better phonetically.

 

Haha, sorry, I'm not much of a help.
