It's too common for my tastes, but I like it a lot more than Alexi / Alexis / Alexys / Alexus / Lexi etc. I have a great uncommon alternative if you like the sound of Alexandra - Zandra. It's my best friend's name. Her father's MN was Zane so they feminized it.

I love it. And it's not too common.

I love Alexandra its not that common where I live

Alexandra is pretty,(also common) but it's the feminine form of Alexander, which is both a good and bad name. In stories of early saints and martyrs, such as Julitta, Alexander was the name of the governor who had them killed. On the other hand, there are over thirty St. Alexander's. This makes me torn.

I really dislike it. I guess because everyone and their sister is using it, thinking they're being so "unique."

I like it, but it is very common where I live.

Well, it's used a lot but it's very pretty and royal sounding like a princess. It's cute! There are other forms less popular like Alexandria, Alexandrina, Alessandra & Alejandra which are also pretty.

Have yourself a buggy little Christmas!

It is really nms (I'm not too keen on Alexander either so....) but there is nothing wrong with Alexandra. One cannot love all names, this one is not for me, but there is nothing that would make me question it if you know what I mean.

I really liking Alexandra at the moment, even though I keep telling myself it's too popular. It's one of the most popular girls names that I like with a prediction of about 2000 girls named Alexandra in 2000-2009.

Alexandra sounds pretty, I like the meaning, and I like the variety of nn that means there's bound to be the right nn for any personality.

My 45 PPs - names in profile

I happen to love Alexandra. I think it's very regal and upper-crust sounding. Definitely not too popular to my ears. I can definitely think of names more popular.

I love Alexandra but I don't really like any of the nn's for it (Alex, Lex, Lexi).

Alexandra is pretty, and not too common at all-there's nothing wrong with having a name that people recognise.

---

Besides, people use so many variations of the name like Alexis, Alexa, Sasha etc, that the original isn't so common anymore.

I also never used to like this name, but it's grown on me too. Particularly, the name Alexia. I also like the masculine name Alessandro

I didn't like it for ages, but over the last few years it's really grown on me. I love Alexandra with the nn Alex.
