My husband and I have finally agreed on the name Alexandra. Please could I have your thoughts or suggestions of others we might like?

We also both like Elizabeth but dislike the nn's so that was out. Both like Amelia but it's too popular where we are.

Middle name will be Joy.

Thank you:)

I open baby name threads with a certain amount of trepidation, wondering what it's going to be! This one is a delightful surprise.
Same here.

Just make sure you don’t mind the shortening’s, it’s a lovely name but if people start calling her Al Allie Alex Lexi are you ok with that?

I love the name Alexandra ❤️ I think it's one that you can imagine calling a baby, a teenager, an adult and an older lady. Absolutely beautiful name. I used to look after a little girl called Alexandra but she was known as Andra which I loved too ❤️

I love the name Alexandra. If our second child had been a girl, that's the name she would have been given!
