DD1 is Isabella and shortly expecting our second DD.

What are people's thoughts or preference between Alessandra and Alexandra? And what nicknames would people imagine?

Alexandra was my second choice girl's name.

Eastern European so Sasha was the obvious nickname

Alexandra

Alexandra

Sacha, Sandy, Alecky and Alexis are all nice I think

Alessandra will just be annoying for her

Alexandra unless you're Italian.

Alessandra is beautiful if you're Italian.
Nickname Alley, Al, Sandy

I think both Alessandra and Alexandra are beautiful names, and either will sound good together with Isabella.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 20/12/2023 23:19

Definitely Alexandra.

Alexandra.
Such a strong, elegant, beautiful name.

(I have an Alexandra!)

Alexandra. Could be Alex, Ally, Alix, Alexa, Lexi, Sandy, Sandra, Xandra, Sasha
I'd use Sasha

Sacha is the best nickname. I slightly prefer Alessandra but Alexandra is very nice too.
