Alexandria or Alexandra?

[putthePuffindown]

We just can't decide!

And what for a middle name? We feel it should be short (1-2 syllables) given length of first name and it shouldn't end in an 'ah' sound, but other than that we're drawing a blank.

TIA

Excellent name choice - you'll find a lot of Lexi haters on here btw but I like it as a nickname. We loved the fact there were lots of shortenings and nicknames ranging from girly to tomboy.

I like Alexandra best with short middle names - Kate, Rose, Grace etc.

Alexandra is lovely. I like Sasha as a nn :)
Alexandra Kate sprang to mind. Or Alexandra Beth, Blythe, Joy.
Alexandria is a just a place name to me

I disagree with those saying she'll end up correcting it. My middle name is Alexandra and nine times out of ten people read it as Alexandria or Alexander

However, Alexandra is much nicer in my opinion

And don't forget Xandra as a potential nn.

Alexandra

Alexandra Grace or Alexandra Faith :)

Queen Victoria was actually an Alexandrina (just to add in another option).

My sister was Alexandra Mary (but she was always known as Alex).

Is Alexandria even a person's name?
AFAIK it's only a city, as PP have said.

Wiki lists Alexandria as an English variant of the name Alexandra.

How about Alexandra Athena :)

I know an Alexandria. She's known to everyone as Ali.

I have an Alexandra Louise, we have a long last name too so her full name is pretty long! She's known primarily as Alex but it also gets
shortened further to Al, which I hated but have grown rather used to!
Someone upthread mentioned Sasha, popular Russian nn which my dd loves but our last name begins with a sh sound so way to much shushing!! Alexandra is a gorgeous name, still love it 10 years later

Alexa.

Alexandra Skye (if your surname doesn't start with S!).

I was going to suggest
Alexandra Liberty
but you say prefer a shorter middle name, (and it will be kinder when she's filling forms).
