What's your opinion on the name Alexandria Sheila? Is it a bit of a mouthful, it would be followed by a two syllable surname starting with B

Shea, meaning admirable

If you like those two names I think even switching it to Sheila Alexandria, or using Alexandra instead makes it flow more.

To me Alexandria Sheila isn't jarring and sounds fine Smile

Personally, names should be special because they have meaning for you (without being a complete nightmare for their recipient, obviously). I'd go for it if I were you.

Any suggestions of names that do flow? Thinking short but nothing lily/mae/rose

Yes it's a family name on both sides of my family, no offence taken I know it's a old fashioned name. Other option is Anne but not sure I like that combo either.

Don't like Sheila and it doesn't really flow so well with Alexandria imo!

Is Sheila a family name? I don’t want to offend you if it is, but it’s not a name I like at all so really hard to judge the flow of the name.
Of course, if it has sentimental meaning, go for it.
