I cannot decide between these two names! I need help!

[Raye19]

I have two names which I love, along with middle names.

• Emelia Alexandra
• Alexandra Elizabeth

I cannot decide! thoughts?

Alexandra Elizabeth

You can enforce that the full name is used, but people tend to roll their eyes when you correct them, and people will try to shorten it.
I have a short name, and people try to lengthen it. Not the name, but along the lines of Ann being called Annie, Anna, Annabel and Annette. I wouldn't mind, but they sometimes insist that they are right.

Inspired by your names I like ..

Eliza Alexandra
Amalie Elizabeth or Emily Elizabeth or Amelia Elizabeth
Alexandra Emma
Elizabeth Alexandra

I'd bet it will.

What I mean is, yes it could be shortened, but it won't always be. I know an Alexandra that is just that - people accept that she doesn't like Alex, and it's not an issue.

I prefer Alexandra as Amelia is done to death and Alex will always be a strong, classic name. Only caveat is Alexa (unfortunately).

I know women with the following names that never get shortened:

Catherine
Alexandra
Alessandra
Vivienne
Marie-Clare

I know an Elizabeth and a Felicity who don't get their names shortened, but they tend to get said a Lizbeth and Flissty

I've always liked Alexandra and like the nicknames Alex and Andie (love Andie) so that would be my choice. Alexandra Elizabeth is quite a grand name though, I think I would go for Alexandra Amelie which is similar to Emelia

The Emelia spelling looks a bit weird, either choose Amelia or Emilia. I know loads of both and find it a bit 'meh'. It's nice enough though

Agreed about no one misspelling Alexandra, it's a lovely name, I'd go with that!
