I like two names, which are almost identical, but I'm unsure of which one to pick. Help me me decide which set of names to choose for future DS?

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: you are correct the x is used twice. It's pronounced Alex followed by Xander

@X0X0X0: omg, i know alexander'Alexanders pronunciation. My new auto correct makes me sound like an idiot (or a bigger one ). I just corrected my original reply. Is Alexavier the same with the double X too?

I know an Alexavier and people are constantly mispronouncing his name, even after they have been corrected. I think it sounds nice, but would be cautious for that reason.

Wow, I had never heard of Alexavier, though I've heard of Xavier, which I love! Both names sound totally fine to me - they are so similar that I don't think one sounds any better than the other!
That said, I do think Alexander is the more "normal" sounding name and will confuse people less!

Oops, looks like I'm the only one who picked the first. I kinda liked Alex Xavier, pronounced Alex-avier but that's supposed to be Xander? I thought alex-avier sounded very cool and unusual whereas Alexander is a very nice name but more typical.

I think with the first one, people will get his name wrong and call him Alexander or Xavier all the time and he would always have to repeat himself. That would be too annoying to me so I vote second.
Love Alexander or Xavier though- Xavier was our top boy banner and we would have called him X a lot.

I think Alexavier seems a little confusing. I'd pick one or the other.

I would go with Alexander. Maximilliano is already a mouthful, but Alexavier Maximilliano is almost a tongue twister!
