Hi, am expecting number 3, dont know the sex. Absolutely love the name Alexa for a girl but my husband says its a bit chavy. I always thought it was quite a traditional name. My two boys are called Henry & George so need something traditional to fit in with that.

whats your thoughts on Alexa - chavy or posh??

Thanks.

It's a bit rich chav but its a nice name and I like it.

It's nice. Alexandra is far more beautiful a name, which you could shorten to Alexa if you wished.

Love it, doesn't seem chavvy or posh to me. I'd put it in the same category as Robyn or Merryn or Kristen. A cool non-frilly girl's name Smile

I quite like Alexa, it's neither posh nor chavvy.

Alexa Chung has probably given it a bit of a boost.

This has made me realise that you need to go with a name that you love. Asking opinions of people you dont know can have a big impact on your decision. I posted recently about a few girls names and really considered what people said.

Now ive realised that there would be no point listening to the people in the above posts as they have very different taste to me.

I have an Alexa. I think it is a beautiful strong and elegant name. Definitely not chavvy.

Nice of people to take the time to post but dont dwell too much on these comments. Go with what you love.

Alexandra would be a tiny bit better imho

Disaronno · 06/01/2013 17:20

I don't think matches very well with your boys names, sorry. And to me doesn't sound particularly chav or posh, but reminds me of a character in a Barbie movie or something

Neither. But I don't like it, sorry.

Neither, just not very nice!
