I’m really liking the name Lexi for my baby girl. Is it an unusual name? Because I remember it being very popular several years ago but I haven’t heard of any new baby Lexis in a long time. If I go for this name, it will be just Lexi, no longer name because I really prefer Lexi just on it’s own and not as a nickname for a full name like Alexa, Alexia, Alexis or Alexie. I also really dislike the name Alexandra and I think it’s too dated. Can I name her just Lexi? Also what middle names go with it? I was thinking Rae and DH likes Lexi Mae but I think Mae is overdone as a middle name. Can anyone think of any beautiful unique middle name to go with her first name?

Our dog was called Lexi. My friend’s horse is also called Lexi.
Lexi for a child? By association not for me but each to his own.

I don't like it. I think it is a sound that doesn't roll off the tongue very well and it's not great anyway.

Not only that but there are so many L names popular now

Also how many little Lexis do you know and where abouts in the country? Where I live in Hertfordshire I haven’t heard it much, not for a while and the ones I’ve met are usually older kids and not babies or toddlers.

I think Lexi can be a pretty nn but far prefer Alexandra as a full name. Be prepared for everyone to assume age has a full name.

IMHO both Mae and Rae are massively overdone as mn. Half of baby girls currently have May/Mai/Mae, Rae, Grace or Rose. Very filler.

How about Louisa, Primrose, Charlotte, Betony, Zinnia?
