I would say Theodosia and Anastasia with four syllables

Me too

I like them. I know two Alexandrias who both go by completely different nicknames and I think that’s one of the nice things about a longer name- you can choose a shorter variation to go by from a few different options!

Anastasia is my favourite from your list

I prefer Alexandrina to Alexandria

I also quite like Eleonora

I don’t think they’re pretentious as such, if there’s a reason why you want to choose a Greek (or whatever) name. They’ll inevitably be shortened, anyway.

Not do keen on Cassiopeia as I just think of the constellation, but the other 3 are fine.
