[Opinions] Re: Alexandra?
in reply to a message by Genie
I love Alexandra! It's second on my name list at the moment, only just behind the beautiful Rose. I find it a lot prettier and much more sophisticated than Alexa or Alexis. I love Allie as a nickname or just Alexandra on her own, I'm not a fan of Lexie.
Other suggestions:
Amber
Arianna
Bryony
Caroline
Isis
Rose
Jasmine
Georgina or Georgiana
Henrietta
Ember
Ramona
Luna
Lucia
Kimberly
Margot
Natasha
Penelope

My constantly changing PNL:

Top rated = Rose and Henry / James / Alexander :)
Bottom rated = Brianna and Kacey (g) :(

Thank you! I agree about nicknames, we also like Alex. From your suggestions, I quite like Arianna (it's on the list now! ). I worry that it might seem too modern next to Elaina, however. Thoughts?
I love flower names, but with this baby's mn meaning lotus, and my sister dreaming of a future Lily and Iris, I don't think we will go that route.
One last point I forgot to add to my original post: one of my mothers is legally deaf, so I do have to take into consideration her ability to pronounce a name. This means that while I may love a number of suggestions (for example, from this post: Bryony, Kimberly, and Penelope) they just aren't options for us.
