Thoughts on Alexia, nn Lexie

[NannyPlumForPM]

The front runner for our dd is alexia poppy b*er, and will be known as lexie.

Asking for genuine thoughts- is lexie 'chavvy'? Other dd is Isabella rose nn Bella - a good sibset?

Thanks!

I don't think it's a widely known term. I only know of it because I once had to compile a glossary for work which included it.

It's a pity really because Alexia is actually quite a pretty name.

Lexie is chavvy round our way. Would hate for any pre-pubescent daughter of mine to be teased and called "sexy Lexie". - urgh, just no.

Much prefer Alexandra. Classic name. Can be shortened to Alex by friends with no "sexy" connotations.

Similarly I don't wish for my pre pubescent daughter to be called Bella the fella, but I suppose it's another connotation to think about!

I don't like it.
I like it less now I've seen someone say sexy Lexie.
And yes I think it is seen as rather common, if that bothers you.

I really like Poppy though!

I don't really like Alexia, prefer Alexa.

Lexie is fine a nickname. She will get Sexy Lexie as a teen, but unlikely to have it as a small child.

Bella the fella would be far worse for a teen girl! Never thought of that before but it did make me chuckle.

I knew an Alexandra, went by Alexandra, Alexa, Al,Allie,Lex,Lexie.

Definitely got called sexy Lexie, but not until university.

I was hoping for Alexandre and would have shortened to Lexi rather than Alex. Then I had my annual viewing of Eastenders and a young girl had a baby and called it Lexi.... Still gutted!

I have a Lexie. She refuses to answer to Alexandra. I'm working on Alex.

I guess it depends on who you've met with that name. Isabella or bella is like the modern day tracy or claire where we are in that there are five in dd's class. Personally I don't like lexi .Alexa is fine though. But who am I - choose what you think is nice.

I like Alexa probably a little more than Alexia but think both are perfectly good names! And I LOVE Poppy!

Alexandra might be a good 'full' first name as it can be shortened to Alex/Alexa/alexia/Alexis/Alex/Lexi/Sandy as you wish??

Alexis is nice imo. Lexie for a nn is fine to me.

Thanks all for your views!
