Alexandria Sheila

[Eeeeek2]

What's your opinion on the name Alexandria Sheila? Is it a bit of a mouthful, it would be followed by a two syllable surname starting with B

I agree with others that Alexandra is better than Alexandria. Also think Sheila is due a revival!

I love Alexandra. Not wild about Alexandria - too frilly.

Sheila is a funny one. To me it sounds really dated but actually when you see it and say it out loud it’s quite pretty. Maybe it will make a comeback. Fine as a middle name I think.

She'll be constantly telling people it's not Alexandra. I'd go for Alexandra.

The "ia" ending is making it quite the mouthful - Alexandra Sheila flows much better. Or use the Irish spelling of Síle to look sleeker?

Ann doesn't work at all for me with Alexandria or Alexandra. It repeats a syllable from the long name and sounds silly to my ears.

In any case though, full names are rarely said and if you stick with Alexandria, that's quite the mouthful already so the middle name doesn't have a huge impact - it will still be a very long name. Conclusion - if both names are your favourites, go for it.

I prefer Sheila to Alexandria, and I'm another who would go for Alexandra.

Sheila Alexandra would be nice and she'd be the only one in her class.

I don't care about flow when it comes to middle names. I mean how often is the full name said aloud? I prefer a middle name with significance rather than a filler middle names like Rose or May.

I do prefer Alexandra to Alexandria though. People will mishear that name her entire life. Love the Alex/Sasha nicknames though.

Alexandria no. Alexandra yes.
Sheila hell no.
