Alexa Verity is alright.
Alexa is pretty. Though not as nice as Alexandra. I like it pretty well anyway.
I don't love the name Verity, but it makes a cute middle name.

---

The problem with Alexa Verity that I see, which completely destroys it for me despite thinking the names separately are nice, is that it contains the word "severity" when I say it out loud. Alec Severity.

---

I'd like Alexandra Verity nn Alex.
Or you could throw in an extra middle name to get rid of "severity." Alexa Lia Verity or something.

---

Lex sounds self-consciously slick. In my imagination it's a guy, and he says: "Hey babe. I'm Lex" and flashes his eyebrows twice.

---

Lexa just seems a little too cute to be natural, hard to picture it being used by a grownup woman. Lexa for a small child Alexa isn't too bad. Seems like something a toddler Alexa might call herself because she can't enunciate Alexa. Or, Lexa is the type of nickname only family and best friends call Alexa. Anyway it's miles better than Lex.
