Using Alexandra does take out a syllable, but it is still very long itself. Also using another full name as a NN for a similar full name seems odd to me. I would be confused if I met a girl called Alexandra and she later told me that her name was actually Alexandria. Seems to me that if you're going to say the 4 syllables of Alexandra, you might as well throw in the 5th that makes it Alexandria.

How about:
Alex
Alexa (a little like using Alexandra as a NN, but since it's significantly shorter it doesn't seem as odd)
Lex/Lexie/Lexa
Ali
Zan (Xan?)
Xandria
Andie
Andria
Andrie
Xandie
Xandrie
