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 😊

Alexa is just an Amazon device to me nowBlush

Alexia is pretty though.

teenysaladandsniffofarose · 29/09/2023 12:14

Or what about Alicia?

Alexis x

Alexis Madison

JamSandle · 29/09/2023 12:38

Alexis

KirstenBlest · 29/09/2023 12:50

Alexis Madison Surname will sound like an accountancy firm

Alexa is beautiful but Amazon have ruined it.

I'd prob go with Alexandria or Alexis.

RuthW · 29/09/2023 13:33

I don't think you can use any of those

Longdarkcloud · 29/09/2023 16:38

A relative of mine, now in-her 20’s is called Alexis. Around the time she was born the name became quite popular for girls but I have never met a male Alexis.
I think Alexis is rarely used in this country for boys but is more common inEastern Europe.
I love Alexandria (with so many nn if desired) but if you want a shorter name Alexia or Alexis are lovely

catnipevergreen · 29/09/2023 16:48

My DDs middle name is Alexandra

YouJustDoYou · 29/09/2023 16:49

"Alexa, please pass me a pencil". "Alexa, play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star".

Alexandra is a lovely name.

User6761 · 29/09/2023 17:41

I too thought Alexis was a male name. I'd go for Alexandra - lovely name and then you have a range of diminutives to choose from.

twostraws · 29/09/2023 17:50

Oh, Alexis is definitely a girl's name!

I can't not hear this:

However, it won't mean anything to the kids of her age, just the parents.

Alexa, on the other hand, that might still be around as the Amazon device.

My favorite Schitt’s Creek resident it-girl is a Lamborghni 🏁, expensive sushi 🍣, and a huge, huge yacht 🛥. There’s no denying that Alexis is little bit ...

@twostraws , it was a man's name for centuries before women started using it.

Headingforholidays · 29/09/2023 20:05

I have taught a couple of Alexias and never heard anyone making fun of it or been told they had a problem from other children so I think that would be fine. Personally I prefer Alexis.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 29/09/2023 20:06

None! She won't thank you when everyone shouts "Ask Alexa".
Alexandra is nice though.

Snugglemonkey · 29/09/2023 20:11

Alexis. The others are ruined. She may well get Lexi,is that OK?

I would go with Alexis Violet.

felisha54 · 29/09/2023 20:18

Honestly none. Just reminds me of my Alexa (echo) who never does as we ask. I know 2 older Alexa's who hate their name because of what most people associate it with.

felisha54 · 29/09/2023 20:19

@muddlingthrou I know an alexis who is male.

Doobydoo · 29/09/2023 20:19

I have no idea how Alexia sounds like Alexa...I have a friend called Alexia....I have never thought it sounds like Alexa..she does however have people saying 'oo like the Alexa' urm nope!

DiscoBeat · 29/09/2023 20:23

So many names out there. Definitely avoid top smart device names and dyslexia conditions!!

Doobydoo · 29/09/2023 20:23

Here is another meaning.
Origin:Greek. Meaning:man's defender, helper. Alexia is a girl's name of Greek origin. Derived from Alexander, it means "man's defender" or "helper." Alexia has many variations, including Alexis, Alexa, and Lexi.16 May 2023

YourWinter · 29/09/2023 20:25

None of those, use either the gorgeous classic Alexandra, or Alice or Alicia.

OrangesLemonsLimes · 29/09/2023 20:30

What about one of your middle name choices as a first name, with one of these as a middle name?

Like PPs I love Alexandra but I suspect from its absence from your list, that you do not!

Depresssssion · 29/09/2023 20:31

Alexa is ruined now because of the Amazon device!
