Alexa, Alexia or Alexis ?

[Kaseylena]

looking for opinions on which of these three choices, middle name not confirmed but could potentially be Evie, Violet, Madison or Bethany. Thanks in advance 😊

I think the names are nice but she'd forever be associated with the smart speaker. She'd be sick of it at school.

yeah we do know a few alexas, they’ve not had many comments though. But alexis and Alexia aren’t the same name so I doubt that would get connected?

Not alexa!

I think both Alexa and Alexia are pretty much unusable thanks to the smart speaker.

Alexandria ?

Alexandra and you/ she can choose the diminutive that suits.

Has to be Alexis.
The other 2 are too like a certain speaker which will not be good at school.

None, two with the names in son's class aged 10+ so they predate the Alex machine. they are trying to change their names.

I thought Alexis was more of a boys name. I would not use any of those for a girl - Alexandra is lovely though

Not Alexa because of the device, not Alexia because it's a condition.
I quite like Alexis but it is a man's name that is sometimes used by women.

None of them. Another vote for Alexandra.

All nice names. Sirie is really nice too

I would avoid Alexa and Alexia because of Amazon.
Alexis makes me think of Carrington but kids these days wouldn't know that connection so you're more likely to get comments from people who were around in the 80s. I loved Gilmore Girls so Alexis Bledel springs to mind too but I'm not sure if that would be a popular association.
Alexandra is my fave and you could pick a nickname that you liked.

My boss is an Alexis and she likes it but people often think she is a man before meeting her ie over email.

Yes, that damn smart speaker has a lot to answer for.
It should have been called something obscure that no-one is likely to want to call their child.

The name Alexa (which I like by the way) was just starting to gain popularity in my area, and then it suddenly stopped.

I know a couple of older Alexas who had issues with kids constantly commanding them, but they quickly got bored of it and no-one bothers now the joke has worn thin.
I love Alexia, and the extra syllable should be enough to deter from that.

Oh I didn't know that (about Alexia).
It just shows it pays to research these names.

If you must, definitely Alexandra. We have an Alexander (Alex) and his name does set off smart speakers across the land ;) so beware.

None of the above - Alexi Madison

I would go for Alexandra (also because of the smart speaker).

That's interesting. We refer to Alexa as Alex at home if we don't want to set up the smart speakers. Most of the time it's us ranting about the uselessness of Alexa! At least my Alexa doens't answer to Alex.

I'd go for Alexandra.

Alexa is a dated robot.
Alexis is a boy's name.
Alexia means inability to read.

But Alexandra is a beautiful name and she can adapt it to Lexi or Alex or Sacha if she wants.

I would go with Alexandra as well. By far the most beautiful option.

@ReadyForPumpkins Our Alexa at home responds to 'Echo'. It's just other peoples' that's the problem

Alexis is definitely a girl's name, not sure why PPs are insisting it isn't...

@muddlingthrou , because it's a man's name that's been used for some women.
