Re: Opinions on Alexandra
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I love Alexandra. It is such a strong and regal name to me. I would definitely consider using it but I'm not in love with any of the nicknames. I really kind of like Xan or Xani but I wonder how intuitive that would be or whether it would stick. Mostly I just love Alexandra in its full form. I could likely live with Alex, which seems sporty and friendly, but I hate Lexi and I'd be so scared of that.

Regarding Xan or Xani being intuitive or sticking:
My SO's daughter was named Alexandria. Close enough to Alexandra. She's not the daughter I've mentioned several times whose name is Kenyatta but she's called Keisha. Alexandria was his older daughter and I questioned, with good reason, whether or not she was his daughter at all. Long story lol. Now I guess we'll never know as she died tragically young a few years ago. I bring this up in case anyone thinks there's a discrepancy from what I've previously said about his younger daughter.
ANYWAY, she was always called Zan, pronounced the same as Xan. I think it's perfectly intuitive and she's proof it sticks.
