Middle name for Alexandra

Hi everyone,

I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Expecting a baby girl and think we've settled on Alexandra (Ally) but stuck on a middle name. We thought we'd settled on Grace but then after several months we realised that it's like Alexan.. drag race and now my husband can't over it so it's back to the drawing board. What goes well with Alexandra?

Ideas so far - thoughts welcome!

Sophia/Sofia
Noa
Charlotte

Thank you!

I like Charlotte
Sophia feels like it needs another name on the end to finish it off
Noa - was that a typo?!

Other ideas -
Alexandra Mary
Alexandra Sophia Mary
Alexandra Mary Charlotte
Alexandra Charlotte Louise
Alexandra Sophia Grace
Alexandra Katharine Grace
Alexandra Sophia Katharine
Alexandra Katharine
Alexandra Katharine Mary

Quite like 3 names actually

Lovely name. I like Alexandra Charlotte from your list. Also think a short name would work well to balance out Alexandra. I think Alexandra June or Alexandra Beth would be nice.

grassisjeweled · 14/02/2021 01:34

Bear in mind she'll probably be called Alex later in life too

I like middle names that don't fit at all but instead honour some aged great aunt.

Alexandra/Ally is lovely though.

Charlotte sounds lovely. Middle names not ending in another "a" sound flow better - so Sophie would be great rather than Sophia (Or Noelle rather than Noa). Any names of family or friends you could honour as a middle name choice?

Alexandra

Louise
Rose
May
Fern

But if you are likely to use Ally (I know an Allie) you may also want to look at middle names with this as well.

My favourite is Ally Rose or Ally May/Mae/Ray/Rae

Thanks so much for the suggestions everyone! Reading them all and mulling them over with my husband. Some really good ideas we hadn't thought of - I'm so glad I asked!
