HelpRe: Opinions on Alexandra
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I used to prefer Alexandria when I was a kid but these days I prefer Alexandra.
I love the sound of it but with how common Alexander and Alexandra were when I was a kid it does feel a bit bland / stale to me. Most of the Alexandra's and Alexander's I knew went by Alex. Though I also knew a few boy's who went by Sasha. For the girls I also knew one Ally, two Alexa's, one Sasha, one Lex, and one Lexi. I also knew of one or two girl's whose names were just Alexa but they were more in my younger sister's age group. I also got the impression that in my sister's age group that the nn Alex had fallen out of style and most Alexandra's were going by Lex or Lexi.
My granduncle's son goes by Sandy which I think is a cute Alexander nn. But he's around 10 years younger than my parents and I think Sandy was probably a more common nn at the time. I have never actually met an Alexander who went by Xander before except in Buffy.
Alex, Alexei, Allie, Andie, Sandie, and Xan are my favorite nn's for Alexandra. Alexa is also nice and so are Lex and Lexi. I hate the names / nn Alexis and Lexis. Alexa, Lex, and Lexi are just too trendy for my tastes. Also Alexa makes me think of the Amazon device. I prefer Sasha and Sandy as nn for a boy.

Favorite Names:
Leona, Fiona, Artemis, Hazel, Luna, Serafina, Adelina, Callisto, Stella, Aurora, Ursa, Augustine, Citrina, Vivian, Dorothea, Eleanor, Iris, Maple.
Kieran, Rowan, Cedar, Connor, Arthur, Magnus, Finn, Theron, Xavier, Teagan, Quinn, Cedric, Adrian, Julian, Tristan, Gavin, Gryphon.
