DH just mentioned he likes this. Is it a classic or a bit 80s/90s?

A lovely, classic name.

MsGameandWatching · 08/12/2017 23:58

I love it 😊

NC4now · 09/12/2017 00:00

Classic, beautiful, graceful, strong. It has everything!

Keel · 09/12/2017 00:01

Love it but biased as I have an Alexandra or Alex as she is also known.

PlumptiousBeauties · 09/12/2017 00:03

I'm an Alexandra, except I go by Alexa.

FrLukeDuke · 09/12/2017 00:03

I like Alexandra

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 09/12/2017 10:28

I really like Helena Alexandra 😄

Ohyesiam · 09/12/2017 13:32

I love it

HereBeFuckery · 09/12/2017 13:38

We have an Alexandra, known as Alex or Al (she's a tomboy!) and so glad to see it's seen as classic! We adore the name, and it suits DD completely.

NinonDeLenclos · 09/12/2017 13:55

Alexandra is a million times better than Elizabeth or Eleanor - Helena's ok though.

MiniAlphaBravo · 09/12/2017 13:58

I Love it and its classic but the only small issue is all the ones I know are known as Alex which is a tad boring. I prefer the short forms of Elizabeth- Beth, Libby are probably my faves.

NoelNiki · 09/12/2017 21:00

Classic. In the same as Elizabeth

Adore it. Would be my first choice for a girl.

catiinbo0ts · 10/12/2017 05:26

I'm an Alexandra but known as Ally.

I hated my name as a child but love it now.

Bue · 10/12/2017 05:48

Queen Alexandra of Russia is always spelt Alix when referred to by her nickname. Very different vibe to Alex IMO! Could that be another option? I also know an Alexander nn Ander, so Andra is possible too.

MakeMisogynyAHateCrime · 10/12/2017 15:07

I absolutely love it.
In fact I really like your shortlisted names too.

user1459464195 · 11/12/2017 23:37

Love it!
For nicknames I love Xan, Andra, Andie, Ally and Alexa.
I'm not keen on Lexi and prefer Alex as a male nickname only.

Dixiestampsagain · 12/12/2017 00:18

I love it. I know an Alexandria too, which I also like.

Love it - it means the defender of men (and women!) xx

Bojangles33 · 14/12/2017 22:12

I love it, and Lexi is a cool short version

LoveInTokyo · 16/12/2017 23:23

Gorgeous name, and works well for a little girl and a grown up woman.

LeahG94 · 17/12/2017 23:24

Personally I don’t like it because it will get shortened to Alex and I’m not really a fan of that name... sorry :(

notangelinajolie · 17/12/2017 23:26

Very royal, very russian and very grand. I love it and that is why I have one.

RomansRevenge · 17/12/2017 23:29

It’s my middle name :)

CheesecakeAddict · 17/12/2017 23:29

Love It. It's our DD's middle name
