What do you think when you hear Lexi?

[nicd213]

My DP likes this for our baby DD but I'm not keen.

not a fan - sorry! Reminds me of a “chavvy” (hate to use that word) girl from school who always caused problems.

Stripper

No. Not at all.

A dog.
Know three called Lexi

Short for Alexandra!
I love the name Lexi

My daughter”s friend, she’s lovely (they are both 12).

how about Alexia?

So do I. I know someone called Lexi, short for Alexandra. It's suits her.

I think of Alan Partridge saying it as plural for 'Lexuses'.

I love it as short for Alexandra, so you’ve got a more formal, classy option if you need it as an adult.

I was thinking chavvy too. I'm a social worker and it's a name that comes up all the time. Like, All The Time! Never had a Sarah, Elizabeth, Laura on my caseload but have at least 2 or 3 Lexis each month!

Archetypal chav name. Avoid.

It’s a nice nickname / diminutive for Alexandra (which is a lovely name)

…as an ACTUAL name for life it’s a mistake.

Stripper. And I say that as a parent who has a child whose name could be shortened to that. It’s not.

Sexy Lexi - I knew a girl who would get called that but in cruel sarcastic way. "Sexy Lexi like a lump of lard, Sexy Lexi you make my Willy go hard". It's stuck in my head for three decades.

I think it’s lovely, as a nickname, but I wouldn’t give it as a full name.

When I was a TA in a primary, there was a Lexi in the class - tomboy, spunky, easy going but head strong - I saw her yesterday in her secondary school uniform and she looked so cute and still with a street smart look about her

I’d go for Alexandra though so she can choose Alex or Lexi or even both

It’s the name of my neighbour’s dog, who is forever escaping and therefore her name is regularly shouted around the place!

Well you used it, why didn't you say you didn't like it ?

I used to work with male substance users and offenders.

Nearly all of them had a child with a woman who wouldn't let them see the child for a reason that was 'obviously' not their fault... and 9/10 if a girl the child was called Lexi. Or Lexi-May etc

I can't move past that.

I think its nice although I prefer Alexadra then you can shorten it to Lexie.

Stripper / drag queen

I know a Lexie. Its not short for anything. They called her that. I really like it.

A car

That she will spend her life having people accidentally trigger Amazon devices around her.

Because the OP specifically asked what does it make you think of, not if I liked it or not….quite frankly I am sure the OP doesn’t care if a random stranger likes the name or not, they wanted to know what associations people have with it.

I also couldn’t think of another word to describe her, hence why I used it.
