It is interesting that you like
Alexis but not
Alexandra. They do give off a different vibe though. To me,
Alexandra sounds queenly while
Alexis is a professional athlete.
I share your feelings about
Malik. It makes me think of
Maleficent licking something. It's a strange image.
With
Zion, I can see the appeal of the idealism of a perfect city, but there is too much drama around it for a kid just coming into the world.
