I prefer Sam, though Alex is a little less common here.

Both are nice but I prefer Alexander. Alexander Joel sounds great too. It sounds a lot better than Samuel Joel imo

Alexander definetely. I like Samuel but I think that Alexander goes better.

Proud Mama! See My Profile!

Both Alexander and Samuel are handsome classics. It depends on what you want.

---

If you want a name that is not overly popular, then go for Samuel. It's still popular, but not as much as Alexander. (I haven't checked out the stats recently, but I think that still holds true.)

---

If you want a name for its overall sound, then I think Alexander Joel flows better than Samuel Joel, since both Samuel and Joel end in an "l" sound.

Alexander :)

Samuel hands down. I cannot stand the Alex names in any form (male or female).

Well I was going to say Samuel for sure, because I love the name Sam. But Samuel Joel doesn't flow to me, because they both end in L. I'll have to say Alexander Joel then.

Alexander Joel

I like Samuel better than Alexander, and prefer the nn Sam to Alex. But both Samuel and Joel have the -el ending, that's why I vote against it. I could be a possibility to use simply Sam, but Joel is not long enough for a one-syllabe fn IMHO.

---

Alexander Joel still rhymes, but I find it nicer all in all.

Alexander Joel sounds much better to me than Samuel Joel.

Alexander: I like the name, although I personally prefer it as a MN. It sounds very nice with the MN Joel though; good combination

---

Samuel: I love this name. However, I think that the flow is only okay with the MN Joel.

---

***So, if I had to pick based on the first name alone, I'd go with Samuel (which I like so much more). But if I had to go with the flow, I'd probably say Alexander. But if you don't mind how it flows, then Samuel definitely gmv!

Carrie Underwood is our American Idol...Congratulations Carrie!!!

I like both Alexander and Samuel. I think Alexander flows best with Joel (but I don't care for Joel - I don't like the sound of it, and I don't find it masculine). But, I do not think nicknames should be planned by the parents, but instead, should be left up to the child. What if he doesn't want to be called Alex or Sam?

Check out my profile for the names of my !'s, ?'s, ~'s, and /'s.

Alexander Joel flows better. I prefer Alexander anyway, though I still really like Samuel.

Samuel, I love it :)

Sam

I vote Alexander. It goes well with the middle name Joel. Samuel doesn't.
