Alessondra
I saw that name today in a birth announcement- Alessondra Nina Marie. Her two-year-old sister's name was Sonia Rachel Carys, and her five-year-old brother's name was David Robert Evan. They only gave the first names of the parents- Daniel and Lisa. I think Alessondra is a much more elegant version of Alessandra and Alexandra. I wouldn't have added the Marie- I think it kind of ruins the name. My only problem with Alessondra is that the "son" part is too close to Sonia. Sonia and David's second MNs don't work for them either, IMO. David Robert Evan seems incredibly boring and common compared to the other two names. WDYT?Edited for spelling.

Alessondra is an awful spelling of the lovely names Alessandra or Alexandra.

I prefer the spellings Alessandra or Alexandra. The "o" looks too phonetic.

It's an ok name. I prefer Alessandra though.

Alessondra looks off to me, for some reason. As if the parents just wanted their child to be "different," and went with the spelling Alessondra instead of Alessandra. Or, they thought since Sondra is a name, it can interchange with Sandra (and, I do like both Sondra and Sandra). But, I would prefer Alexandra, hands down.I do like the name Marie, and only as a middle name, as they used it, Rachel, David Robert, Daniel, and Lisa.Edit: Spelling.

Alessondra looks a little odd to my eyes but thats probably because I really like Alessandra
Alessondra Nina Marie has a nice flow to it though
Sonia Rachel Carys, all nice names but for some reason i just dont like them together like this
David Robert Evan - I rather like this
I Think that as a sibling set Alessondra looks a little out of it, Sonia and David go well together

I prefer the Alessandra spelling; I pronounce it exactly the same as Alessondra, and I like the way it looks much more. Nina is cute, and Marie may be overdone, but I like the flow overall.I don't mind Sonia and Carys, but I don't really care for Rachel. David sounds a bit plain next to Sonia and Alessondra.

yeah, David Robert Evan really doesn't fit. Alessondra is very pretty, but I really don't like Nina... The others I'm indifferent to.
A is for Amy who fell down the stairs, B is for Basil assaulted by bears, C is for Clara who wasted away, D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh... !!!!!!!!!! - Tobias, Jesse, Wyatt, Shane, Preston, Maverick, Rebel, Gibson, Shiloh, and Timber
