I like Alex because it’s more common and dynamic. Alec sounds like a title fragment due to low usage in mainstream North America and Alan sounds subdued and anonymous because the “n” is more passive than the “x” sound and I believe names that sound unassuming should not be used by men who want to stand out. Alex is also easier to translate because almost every country on earth has some variant of “Alexander,” in their vocabulary or verbal repertoire due to the historicity of the name and the monumental figures and places that used it. It’s also a religiously neutral name because many secular people or mixed demographic regions used it.
