Any thoughts on Alexandra?

Got some great input on another thread and had a very short shortlist. Had a lovely girl this afternoon and DP through in this curveball.. I kind of like it.

Gorgeous name.

Classic, international, versatile, elegant... exactly this Smile

Beautiful name. Classic, international, versatile, elegant... what's not to love?

Thanks everyone! Glad we haven't rushed into announcing a name. Discussions to be had tomorrow.. Will try it out on her tonight.

DD1 would have been Alexandra but DB got there first and his son is Alexander so we used it as a middle name instead (it's a family name). I love it, good choice by your DH.

Lovely name.

I love it, wanted it for ds until he turned out to be a boy.

Lots of love shortenings - Alex, Lexi, Alexa, Ally. (I was planning Ally.)

I love it.

I have an Alexandra. I love it obviously. She is always Alexandra - she is 10 and makes her feelings obvious if anyone tries to shorten it!

She has never been at school with another Alexandra which is nice.

I also have an Elizabeth, Victoria and Francesca if that helps.
