Alexandra Lily or Lily Alexandra - which order do you prefer?

[runningandjumping]

Which should be first, which second name?

Alexandra Lily

Because there are billions of little girls called lily around here. DD1's reception class list has 4 Lilys on it.

But both are beautiful combinations.

Alexandra Lily - both lovely though

I prefer Lily but probably would go for Alexandra as Lily is so popular.

Alexandra Lily, just because Alexandra is beautiful and has so many options for shortening that are also lovely.

Alexandra Lily, I love Alexandra
Lily Alexandra sort of all flows into one word imo.

Another vote for Alexandra Lily.

Alexandra Lily

Definitely Alexandra lily. Lily is meh, Alexandra is beautiful.

Definitely Alexandra Lily. I'd much rather hear of a little Alexandra than yet another Lily.

I'll buck the trend and say I like the sound of Lily Alexandra better

I like the flow of Lily Alexandra better but Alexandra Lily will be more unusual. What letter will her surname start with? (Please say F so she can be Alf)

I like Lily Alexandra but think I'd go for Alexandra Lily. As others have mentioned Lily is too popular and Alexandra is the nicer name of the 2.

I like Lily Alexandra.

we like both names but as some posters pointed out, Lily is very popular, otherwise it would be my favorite as it's more feminine.

I prefer the sound of Lily Alexandra, but the pp make a very good point about the popularity of Lily.

To me, Alexandra Lily flows better, but your surname might affect that.

our surname goes with both. I love Alexandra but as I find Lily prettier than Allie (my fave shortening of Alexandra)

I prefer the sound of Lily Alexandra

Alexandra lily is lovely

Alexandra Lily.

Alexandra lily .

Alexandra Lily flows well and is more timeless with Alexandra as the first name

It sounds very Angelina ballerina

Alexandra lily :)

Why Angelina ballerina? Alexandra isn't very "girly" imho
