Do you think Anya would work as a nn for Alexandra? I don't like Alex on a girl and I have a cousin named Allie. I'm not a fan of Lexi either.WDYT of AlexandraElise?
It's a bit of a stretch, but I'm sure it would be fine. Plenty of people have pet names that aren't obviously related to their given name. Have you considered Sandy as a nn? Or Sasha? Or Sandra?
