Not Alexanda Shiloh,Sounds confusing like Greek, or Western Drama.I can't decide.So stick to classic names with Alexandra.

I really love Alexandra. Sandy does nothing for me but it's fine as a nickname. I prefer Allie and Alexa as nicknames (I hate Alex too).

---

Alexandra May, Alexandra Jane, Alexandra Elise, and Alexandra Jade are all gorgeous. AlexandRa Rose has too much R and Shiloh is just awful.

My fave Alexandra combos are Alexandra Charlotte and Alexandra Jane, however, I like Alexandra May for you since it has the family connection. Oh, and I've always liked Sandy. Lately, though, I've been reflecting on Xan and Xana. Weird, huh? ;-)

---

Also, my best friend named her dd Alexandra Claire (nn Allie). That's a nice combo too.

I like Alexandra May and Alexandra Elise.

I am Alexandra, and I love my name. I am not really a fan of the nn Sandy though. It sounds outdated to me. I think Sandra is prettier.

---

Of the mns you listed, Jane is the only one I really like.

Alexandra is a great name imo. I'm not keen on Sandra, personally, but it has personal meaning to you.

---

Other names lending themselves to nn Sandra:
Alessandra
Chrysandra
Lysandra
Melisande

I love Alexandra, but don't care at all for the nickname Sandy. Sandy was used as a name in its own right fairly frequently for my age group, so it seems so dated and I don't know...just yuk. All I can think of is the beach when I hear it, and I'm not a fan of the beach. I knew an Alexandra nicknamed Sandy in college, by the way.

---

But I don't like any other nickname for Alexandra, either. That's the reason I would never use the name, although I love it.

I LOVE Alexandra. The nn Sandy is cute but I prefer Lexi.
I like all your combos especially Alexandra Shiloh.

---

Off the top of my head...

---

Alexandra Lily
Alexandra Catherine
Alexandra Harmony
Alexandra Skye
Alexandra Lucy

First off, I like Alexandra Jane and Alexandra May. Secondly, I think it's great that you want to honor your mother, especially with such a beautiful name. Another combo you might like is Alexandra Clarice.

---

Amanda

I'm really tired of Alexandra...

---

However, I think Sandy's quite the refreshing nickname.

Alexandra "Sandy" is wonderful. I dislike the NN's Alex and Sasha on girls. My favorite combo from your list is Alexandra Elise :)

---

Other suggestions:
Alexandra Grace
Alexandra Lynn
Alexandra Kate
Alexandra Bryn / Brynn

Alexandra, nn Sandy, is delightful. I'd say that even without the honor that it does to your mother. It would be very refreshing to hear Sandy as a name again. (Alexandrine / Sandrine and Cassandra also work if you need an alternative in your back pocket for significant others who fail to see the light.)

---

Alexandra May is my favorite from your list because of the family connection. Alexandra Jane is my close second choice. May I make a few suggestions?

---

Alexandra Sophie
Alexandra Zoe
Alexandra Lily
Alexandra Charis
Alexandra Ione
Alexandra Pearl
Alexandra Sonnet

---

Good luck!

I think it would work really well. Anything with a story is great by me.

I was going to suggest Cassandra nn Sandy but then I realised your name is Cassie :P
