I dislike it. I think it's boring and unattractive. It's also 90s dated, in my opinion. I especially dislike the -andra ending. I don't mind it so much in other names, as in Cassandra, but I find the Alex-part combined with -andra to be rather ugly, sorry.

I also think it will get shortened because it's rather long and I dislike both Alex and Lexi. I like Lexi a little better so I guess that's what I would go with. I dislike Lex, Andra, Sandra, Xandra, Ali and pretty much anything else you could come up with.

I do however really like Alexa. It's shorter so I think it won't get shortened and it doesn't have the -andra part. Alexa is pretty. I guess you could shorten Alexandra to Alexa but that doesn't make sense to me because Alexa works well on its own. It's like Sophia nn Sophie or Maria nn Marie or Helena nn Lena. I don't really like names that work perfectly well on their own as nicknames, just a personal opinion though.

If you like it, go for it. It is 90s dated but still a classic name overall (kind of like Amanda is a classic but 80s dated) and perfectly usable. I just really dislike it.
