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!

Just too add the only other Alexandra I know is known as Sandy.
So I wouldn't worry if the middle name goes with the shortened version because until they are here you have no idea what they'll be called, when you use a name that can be shortened to so many things.

(I have a Elizabeth known as Lizzy, who was supposed to be Betsy or Beth. We mostly call her Lizbo.)

@AlexandraPeppernose

My middle name is Claire. I've never been Alex, always Allie
Oh my, another Alexandra Claire! I thought I might be the only one Grin I've always been Alex though.

My parents considered Alexandra Elizabeth but decided it was a bit of a mouthful, so stuck with a single syllable.

It's the same middle name as my older sister, which flummoxes some people, but I actually like having that link with her.

Alexandra may

You need a nice short name to go with Alexandra.

My friend’s daughter is Alexandra Frances, which I think sounds lovely.

My sister is Alexandra Charlotte and she's always complimented on her name. I love it.
