Middle name ideas

Hi all! We have decided upon the name Alexandra for our DC1 but are really struggling to think of a good middle name for it that we both like and sounds good. We are aware that middle names aren’t essential to get perfect but that still doesn’t help us!

Some ideas we have:
Alexandra Elise (how would you pronounce?)
Alexandra Edie
Alexandra Grace
Alexandra Vivienne
Alexandra Genevieve

Our surname is two syllables starting with a B.

Any thoughts much appreciated on either our names or any you have to offer!

Ooh I love Alexandra- beautiful name!

I think a one syllable middle name goes well, and I like Grace.

I'll suggest Alexandra Hope.

Grace is pretty, but it is very popular and could well end up like the modern equivalent of Ann or Louise as a standard middle name.

I think you need something with either one or three syllables with Alexandra.

Our Alexandra - also a 2 syllable b surname! - has Kate as a middle name. Grace works well too IMO, it needs something short.

I’d go for one syllable, given the length of Alexandra.

Alexandra Grace sounds the best although I don’t like the name Grace.
