Elegant and timeless, of course.
Alexander feels more overly used than Alexandra. Even then, I still love them both.
My favorite nn for Alexandra is Sunny. I know it's a stretch. But that's what Tsar Nicholas II used to call his wife. Sunny von Bulow was another Alexandra. I suppose the nn comes from Sandy --> Sunny? Or Xan --> Sun? Whatever way it comes to me, I love it. It's one of the few adjectives that I like as a name.
Oh. And recently someone on these boards listed Exie as their favorite nn for Alexandra. I agree its a zippy little number that deserves more use.
