Thoughts on Alejandra as a future baby name choice

[FLAMENCOQUEEN]

WDYT OF Alejandra? Personally i pronounce it aley-han-drah or even ale-han-dra

I've always loved Latino names and culture, and this name is Beautiful in my opinion so far! Elegant, passionate yet recognisable. I used to hate it but now i really love it

Thoughts
I began liking it again after my old teacher friend mentioned having a Student called Alex, but as he is Latino he called her Alejandra

not TTC or anything at the moment just brainstorming names 4 future

Didn't you ask this a few days ago?

Oh, you've changed your username!!!

Didn't you like the answers on your previous thread, op?

Are you KarolG?

If you don’t have Spanish heritage, I’d think it was a bit weird. What’s wrong with Alexander/Alexandra?

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/baby_names/5513667-what-do-you-think-of-the-baby-name-lorena & the other Alejandra thread linked to above might be enlightening @CeciliaMars.

It would make your baby sound foreign. What’s wrong with Alexandra?

Who cares what you call your imaginary children.

Your second thread on the same name (that will be mispronounced) for a baby you have yet to conceive? 🥴

no, and i would actually love opinions

I prefer Alexandra

alejandra I would shorten to Ally which I do really like.

Absolutely!

OP is this a series of posts designed to elicit negative comments about Latino names?

You obviously are. Both posts contain the exact same phrasing.

... anyway, you need not worry about your hypothetical baby as you seem to "absolutely love" so many names you just cannot help yourself from starting a thread and sharing them... This baby will have the longest name on record!

I used to know one.
His family did actually have a Spanish/Latino background but everyone (including family) called him "Alex" 🤷

Well, you’ll get plenty on https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/baby_names/5512418-thoughts-on-the-name-alejandra-and-how-you-would-pronounce-it

Pull the other one.

I'm going to be as kind as I can . . .

You're posting multiple threads on here asking for people's opinions on various girls names. You seem to have no good reason for this

You said, when asked, that you were writing a book ~ I don't think you are

You said, when asked, that you haven't changed your username ~ it's quite obvious to PP's who have followed all your recent threads that you have

You say you're not ready to have a baby yet and I'm wondering how old you are.

If people give you an honest opinion of the name, what difference will that make to you?

When the time is right for you to have a child, your views on names may well be totally different to your current "hypothetical" thoughts. The fashion of names changes from year to year, you will probably have a partner who will have views on naming the child and there will be other issues with naming a child, e.g. their initials. Giving a child a name that they will carry for life is a serious undertaking

You're really NOT achieving anything by posting multiple times on here. If there are names that you like, tuck them away in your brain for consideration if you start a family later on. If you like these names, it makes NO difference whether people on Mumsnet like them or not

But the thing that I'm most concerned about is why you are so obsessed exclusively with girls names? If you start a family in the future, there's obviously a 50% chance you'll have a boy. I wonder whether you have a mental image of having a daughter and not a son but, if I'm right, that's not healthy and could cause immense problems for you . . .

I know several of us have given you a hard time on here for these repeated threads but, having thought about it, I'm seriously concerned about you

If you feel able, perhaps you could be honest and tell us the REAL reason why you're posting all these threads. I'm sure PP's would be more sympathetic and give you help and advice

You need to be able to roll those r’s to say it properly

I once met a young man called Alejandro.

I prefer Alexandra for a girl.

If you don’t mind setting your DC up for a lifetime of mispronunciation and spelling, then go ahead. Otherwise, no, just stick to Alexandra.

I can't understand people giving kids names from a different heritage if they have no links with said heritage. Not only are they difficult to pronounce but the child will be spelling the name all the time. If you're British have a British name.

Parents should think of how the child will feel when it's older rather than going on a parents ego trip.
I used to know a couple who had a smallholding and were self sufficient - growing food etc.
Great idea - until they called their girls Harvest and Plenty. The second name caused the younger girl acute embarassment - especially once she reached puberty.
As soon as they was able, they both changed their names by deed poll.

It's a poster who keeps starting threads about girl's names.
