I hate all Alex names, but if you don't use nn Alex, it's fine. I always thought the most natural nn for Alexandra is Sandy, which I think is the best of them, too. I like Alexander better, I absolutely adore Sasha on a boy.

I don't care about popularity and I think it's just gorgeous! :)

I prefer Alexia or Alexis :)

I adore Alexandra. It's popular, but as you said, it's a flawless classic. Definitely use it.

Ali / Allie and Sasha are both cute. I hate Alex and Lexi. My favorite nickname is Alexa, though, and Zandra is cute too.

Its one of my favorite names and isnt that common where I live

I like this name very much. It kept high on my list when I tried to decide my daughter's name. And I like the NN Alix and Sasha.

I like it, but Alexander is my favourite boys name.

I love the name Alexandra, dislike nn's Allie and Sasha. My favorite nn's are Alex and Lexi, or no nn at all.

I really loathe Alex- names, but since you are not looking at Alex for a nn, I can be satisfied to see it on yet another child. I love Sasha as a nn on a girl. I prefer it as a full name on a boy, but it works on a girl as well. Ali or Allie are nice also, I usually think of Alison when I hear Ali, but it works for Alexandra.

I love it. It's one of the popular names that doesn't bother me. I'd prefer it without a nickname, but it's unlikely that would ever work, lol!

I love it, but I can't use it because I want to use Alexander. :-)

I adore it

It is one of my favourite names and I will probably use it one day, although I toss up on the popularity too. I don't want to use popular names for my kids, but Alexandra tempts me. If I don't use it as a fn it will be used as a mn.
I wouldn't want to use a mn, but as most things in my family get shortened, I would want to use the nn Sasha.

It's funny, because I dont' particularly LOVE Alexandra, nor do I love Alex, ally, etc. But i have a russian friend who is Alexandra nn Sasha, and I love it! I don't particularly love Sasha, by itself either, but for some reason i just like them together -- they click! Maybe I ust like names that branch off the original a little.

Yes, Alexandra is popular but if I truly loved a name, I'd use it anyway. My best friend named her dd Alexandra Claire (nn Allie) which is beautiful. Sasha is nice too.

I love it.

But will probably use it as a mn as opposed to a first name. I don't really like any of the nns, Alexandra is such a pretty name that I wouldn't want to shorten it!
