Lexi

[GemLooper]

Would you consider this a name by itself or do you only see it as a nickname for girls names starting with "Alex"?

I know it’s a marmite name. Not everyone likes it, but we’ve used it as a stand-alone name. Wanted a short, unfussy name. Lots of Lyla’s, Lara's, Laura’s etc at the moment. Not as many Lexi’s.

Didn’t like Alexandra. Alexis and Alexia didn’t work with our surname. Alexa could have worked but Amazon stole it, so she’d of had a lifetime of “Hey Alexa…”

"Sexy Lexi."
As others have said, it's not a very classy sounding name.
Call her something you like that shortens to Lexi and let choose Lexi later on if she likes it.

I think it sounds a bit sleazy. Like a stage name in a strip club.

I'm so pleased I'm not the only one!!!

For me, Lexi is one of those names that's cute until the age of about 8.

But then I can't imagine, "hello, I'm Lexi, I'll be performing your surgery today."

I'd assume it was short for Alexandra.

Sexi Lexi?

Please don't.

It's very sweet as a diminutive (I don't agree at all with the sleezy comment), but I'd definitely give a more formal name as an option for her to grow into if she wants. Alexandra, Alexis and Alexia are all nice.
