Thoughts on Alexia, nn Lexie

[NannyPlumForPM]

The front runner for our dd is alexia poppy b*er, and will be known as lexie.

Asking for genuine thoughts- is lexie 'chavvy'? Other dd is Isabella rose nn Bella - a good sibset?

Thanks!

I think it's v pretty.
TBH I'm not crazy keen on Poppy, but who cares?!

[Nomorepeppapig]

Poppy is beautiful!
Lexie totally chav, sorry!

[NannyPlumForPM]

Is it? Oh rubbish.... Mind me asking which bit of the uk your in or is it generically chav?

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

Alexa is very nice, Alexia is too much. That extra i makes a big difference IMO.

[SavoyCabbage]

I know an Alexia. She couldn't be further from a chav.

[TheWomanTheyCallJayne]

I too prefer Alexa

[Nomorepeppapig]

I'm in the south.

[InkleWinkle]

I prefer Alexa (biased ) but Alexia is good too. Not keen on Lexie.

[Shatteredmamma1]

I love Lexie. And Poppy!!

[GimmeDaBoobehz]

Alexa would be better.

Or Alexis. :)

[MuttonCadet]

I love Alexia, but prefer Alexa.

I don't think it's chavvy.

Ananda Holden has a Lexie I think

[Sparklysilversequins]

I really don't like Lexie, it's just such a fluffy, flimsy name.

I prefer Alexandra.

[MrsBungle]

My next door neighbours little girls are Lexie and Bella! They are Alexandra and Isabella. I prefer Alexa to alexia. I'm not a fan at all of poppy but that's by the by.

[Bowlersarm]

I love Lexie.

I do not think it is at all chavvy. South east.

[dyslexicdespot]

Lexie sounds too sexy!

[mumof2aimingfor3]

I think Lexie is a lovely nick name, and poppy balances the name nicely. Lexie sounds fun definitely not chavvy. I childmind several children across different age groups and dont know one Lexie. If I was having a girl I would have Lexie on my shortlist, but we're having a boy ;)

We know an Alexia (6), who's known as Lexi. Very, very far from "chavvy". We're in the home counties. I also know a grown up Alexandria, whose nn is Sexy Lexi.

Gosh quite a mixed reaction!! I'm in the midlands and it's not really popular around here- to the point that i've not met one! But it was more about connotations iykwim

[DramaAlpaca]

Not sure about Alexia tbh because there is a medical term called alexia which means loss of the ability to read, usually caused by brain lesions. For that reason alone I wouldn't go for it.

Alexa is much better. I don't think Lexie is chavvy at all, it's pretty.

Poppy is far too cutesy for me.

[Tea1Sugar]

I had Lexie and Lydia on our list until I was put off my "sexy Lexie" and "chlamydia Lydia" :-/

[NannyPlumForPM]

Mmmm I was aware of the reading disability connotation but wanted to see if it was generally thought of as 'disability' first or 'pretty name' first...... It would be unfortunate for alexia to develop alexia though!

[BananaHammocks]

I'm surprised by the responses, I thought Lexie was generally seen as quite chavvy. Enhanced by it's use by a teen mum in Eastenders! Alexa and Alexia not much better.
