Elixa for a girl?

[DawnieOwl]

I'm quite a big fan of this but wanted to hear thoughts - I really like Alexa but don't want her to be getting compared to an amazon device for the rest of her life and I think this is just as nice.

I don’t like it sorry, sounds like medicine/ a weight loss drug

Please don't

Elixa? Seriously?

No.

How about Alicia?

Sounds like a cough mixture.How about Alexandra?

It sounds like elixir, or the brand name of a medicine.

What about Elissa?

I would not

Not really a name, more of a cross between Alexa and Elixir.

I'm of the school of thought that anything can be a name if it sounds good.

But this doesn't sound good. It sounds like a drug.

Not if it’s already got a specific use and the child/teen/adult will get 🤨 looks when saying their name.

Chlamydia sounds lovely for a name.

Sounds like either
a) you don’t know how to spell Alexa
or
b) you don’t know how to spell elixir- which is an awful name to give to a human.

🤣🤣

But define "good", because comments so far are "sounds like [a medicine of some sort]".

I actually think Elixir would be better. Elixa just sounds like you meant Elixir but didn't quite get there with the spelling.

But it doesn’t

it sounds like an antihistamine

It doesn't sound very good... but ultimately your choice!

Alexandra
Alissa
Elissa
Eliza

Or Alexa (though I'm not personally keen) better than Elixa

What about Alexis ?

You might like it, but your child may hate being stuck with an unusual name that sounds like a cough medicine.

Everyone & autocorrect is going to think it’s a typo for Eliza.

It sounds like the name of a medication. Probably because it's close to "elixir".

Elixa sounds made up and not a name.

Have you heard of the word elixir?

That’s just Alexa with a South African accent!

What about Floolamoolaloo, that’s jolly to say! 🤭

Nope

🤣🤣🤣

So so far we've had cough mixture, weight loss drug, and antihistamine.
