I know two as well but one is short for Alexis and the other is spelled Lexie.

Love it - but would spell it Lexie and make it a diminutive of Alexandra.

I love it, was on my list when I was pg, but had a boy. Would have done what HLP said and had Alexandra as her full name.

vvvvvvv popular at the mo, last year it was Evie, this year it is Lexie. Some are shortened from Alexandra, others Alexia others straight Lexie.

It is one of the names of the moment, because it is lovely

I have one short for Alexandra and its the fastest growing girls name at the minute

and for your information, the most famous person to have a Lexie is David Bowie and if its good enough for him its more than good enough for me

just a shame Alex Curran and Amanda Holden (Alexa shortened to Lexie ) used it within weeks after me

I love the name Lexie (personal choice rather than Lexi) but again VERY popular here, I have 2 friends used it and have heard it lots and lots whilst out and about.

splendid name

I'm the full Alexandra for real, someone called me Lex once and it stuck. About half an half now between Alex and Lex(y).

At about 15 it will be frequently prefixed 'sexy' which will either be mortifying or thrilling, depending on the character of your Lexi.
