Can we use this nickname?

DD (2) is called Alexandra. We don't really use a nickname for her, but she can;t pronounce her long name and calls herself Lily. Her older siblings have picked it up and call her Lily too. I quite like the nickname, it suits her well (although imho it't too "frilly" for a full name). I'm quite tempted to let the children use the nickname, but would it be too strange to call her another name - will she and everyone else be confused at the end?

No, it'll be fine, if you like it.

You will spend your whole life saying 'Her name is Alexandra, but she's called Lily - yes I know :)'

What about Lexi instead?
