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

Sexy Lexi.
Other than that it sounds like a nickname.
It’s not a name I can imagine on a baby or an adult. It’s got that Honey vibe for me. Too ditzy sounding.
Im not a fan of the name, as you can tell! 😂

Eastenders! I watch too many soaps!

Stripper

Yep… sorry OP, that was what came into my head first 🫤
I like Alex / Alexandra just not Lexi

Dog or stripper

It’s my cats name. I didn’t give it to her, it came with her from the rescue.

I wouldn’t call a child Lexi, it’s a bit of a B&M bargains/Iceland name.

Greys Anatomy.

Awful. Nothing classy about it at all.

There’s a Lexi at my DC’s school and she’s the only one whose mum screeches her name across the playground.

Set a timer or turn the music up

ginasevern · 17/05/2024 18:08

Chavvy name OP, you are right.

AlwaysGinPlease · 17/05/2024 18:09

Awful

muddyford · 17/05/2024 18:12

A police dog handler friend had a dog called Lexi.

Itsmychristmasdress · 17/05/2024 18:40

Chavvy is a terrible word.

NetMum2 · 17/05/2024 18:43

As lovely as the nickname is, it unfortunately rhymes with ‘sexy’!

ApolloandDaphne · 17/05/2024 18:48

My friends beagle is called Lexi.

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.

Yup v. frequent name in families who come to the attention of the authorities in one way or another. See also Lillie-Mae, Ellie and Evie.

Alexa is nicer. But Amazon have rather ruined it 🙄

Leah5678 · 17/05/2024 19:46

EmiliaGeorge · 17/05/2024 16:51

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

Haha first comment and funnily enough this is my exact only experience of the name too.
I still like the name though it just sounds nice

AllThePotatoesAreSinging · 17/05/2024 19:47

Plane crash. Poor Meredith.

ABirdsEyeView · 17/05/2024 20:25

I think it's cute, as a nn for Alexandra. Not as a birth certificate name in its own right.

Crunched · 17/05/2024 20:27

Monarch of the Glen. I like it.

My DD went to gymnastics with a Lexi-May who was absolutely wild and being raised by her gran.

YouwouldthinkIhavemoresense · 17/05/2024 20:36

I do love it but Alexandra might be better so you can shorten it.

I love Roxy too. Always have.

SirChenjins · 17/05/2024 20:36

Overpumped lips, bleached hair and black Range Rovers with illegally tinted windows.

Treesinmygarden · 17/05/2024 20:38

Sexy Lexi! It's really chavvy! Classical names age so much better IMO!

FlambeJones · 17/05/2024 20:40

I think of The Archers 🤷‍♀️
