Zara or Alexa (likely to be nn Lexi)?

surname is a well known two syllable name ending in er.

Off list but I love the name Summer. Zara is lovely too. Alexa not so much.

Thanks everyone for all the comments and suggestions! I think I like Alexi best as an Alexa alternative. The feedback that Alexa is like naming our daughter laptop, Google or hoover did make me laugh! It’s such a shame as it is a beautiful name but yes maybe it is ruined for this generation.

Zara seems to have gone down well with the majority in real life too, a few comments about the clothes shop but a lot of compliments. (between that and the Amazon device, maybe I have a thing for brands 😂)

Both lovely names, I prefer Zara over Alexa just slightly. I do really like Alexis as well, which another poster has suggested.

Just so you know (but may not mind) Alexi(s) is the Greek male equivalent of Alexia. Sometimes with an S or without.

Zara is lovely.

Sorry, Alexa is unusable now thanks to Amazon.

I prefer Zara out of the two

Shame about Alexa but now totally unusable. I have 4 kids and 2 of their names have been used as brand names since they were born (now teenagers). One of them is Adam, which you would think is safe, but there has since been a crap car on the market with that name! I really like the name Zara from your list.
