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 😊

none of them all sound too much like an amazon product

@felisha54 - ok, and I know 2x alexises that are women, and?

theduchessofspork · 29/09/2023 22:09

Alexis is nice

The other two aren’t usable really

The Alexis I know is a boy.

AuntieStella · 29/09/2023 22:15

Alexis is a boys' name across most of mainland Europe, so I'd cross that one off (unless you're a massive Joan Collins fan)

Alexa is too well known as the device

So that leaves only Alexia

Do you mean Alexis as in 'Alex-iss' (like Alexis Carrington) or 'Al-exy' (like Alexis MacAllister)?

Bear in mind that if you choose this name, as nice as it is, she's in for a lifetime of mispronunciation.

I agree with PP, consider Alexandra instead. That way, she's got a great range of diminutives.

CallieQ · 30/09/2023 00:36

None of those

Housenoob · 30/09/2023 00:45

What about Alessa or Alessia instead?

Ladyj84 · 30/09/2023 00:54

None of them all I hear is the kids across the road at weekends shouting Alexa play this or that lol and the other is a boy name

We have an Alexa, who pre-dates the device - am still so pleased we chose it. I’ve always loved the name, it’s beautiful, classy, strong, and now quite rare, thanks to Amazon!

she had literally a couple of ‘Alexa, sing xxx’ jokes in year 1, but nothing after. People have often commented on what a lovely name it is and she loves it because it isn’t common.
