Doesn't anybody like this girls name?

[A1980]

Alexandra

I have never seen anyone discuss it as a potential name here.

[Mousey84]

I like it. I know a few (tho about my age - mid 20s) and they get a variety of nick names. Lexie, andi, alex and alexa...none go by full nane.

[capstone]

Yes I like it a lot. It does get suggested on these threads from time to time, but as you say I haven't seen a whole discussion about it.

[capstone]

I like Alexandria too.

[juneybean]

I love it

[A1980]

It doesn't ever really seem to have caught on or been that hugely popular which I'm glad about. But I was curious to know if people liked it.

When I was at school, I was one of only two Alexandra's in a huge school with around 800 kids. So there weren't that many. Now I don't come across many Alexandra's my own age either.

Everyone reacts to it positively and say it sounds regal and beautiful.

Yes I do get called Alex most of the time but I like that. People have reacted positively to that too. A few of my friends used to say they wished they were called Alex as it's a cool name for a girl.

It's a gorgeous name, and it seems to adapt to the way a person is, from regal- "Alexandra" to chic and sassy -"Alex" to cheeky -"Lexie".

Love it.

[SambuccaKelly]

Lovely name.

[Ronaldinhio]

I love it

[swanandduck]

I think it's lovely.

[withorwithoutyou]

I don't really like it but then I don't really like boys-names-with-an-extra-letter-to-make-them-girls-names as a rule of thumb.

[withorwithoutyou]

(not that it is an extra letter, just a different ending, but you know what I mean!)

[withorwithoutyou]

Oops, just read rest of thread.

Sorry op, didn't realise it was your name

[Lovethesea]

It's my middle name which I like a lot. Am glad my parents didn't use it for a first name in the end though as I would've shortened it to Alex and my mum would've wanted me to be Alexa or something more girly .... but I was far more a tomboy!

[WhyMeWhyNot]

It's my daughter's middle name and I used it in memory of my fathers middle name of Alexander.

Dd loves it and in fact adds it often to her own first name turning it double barrelled.

[BuzzingNoise]

I don't mind it at all.

[Bonsoir]

It's a lovely name, but terribly classic.

[lifeas3plus1]

I have a cousin Alexandra whi is ermmm.... 13ish now.

Lovely name. She gets called Alexie.

[TinaSparkles]

I think it's a great name. As in Alexandra the great - boom boom!!

No, seriously I love it. DH likes the name Lexie but I would insist on the full Alexandra if indeed that did fall into the short list if we do ever have another DD.

I like long names such as Elizabeth and Katherine. Think they are much more sophisticated and suited to older people and can be shortened to a nick name while they are young.

[DontCallMeBaby]

I would have petitioned strongly for DD to have been Alexandra shortened to Alex if my cousin hadn't already had such a child. Plus DH would never have been keen - his middle name is Alexander and it was deemed amusing to call him Alexandra for a term or so when he was a teenager.

[mathanxiety]

Lovely name; I like Alix too.

[SacharissaCripslock]

I love it. I have an Alexander but if he'd been a girl...

[orienteerer]

Yes, it's fine.

[saslou]

It's a beautiful name.

[RunawayWife]

Very nice
