Alexandra

I have never seen anyone discuss it as a potential name here.

It's DD's middle name - it might have been her first name if my sister hadn't already had an Alexander & I didn't want to confuse DS. Though five months later, SIL had a boy & called him Alexander, so that was wasted effort.

The only thing that put me off a bit though was that DH liked Sandra as a nn, which I hated.

DD2 is Alexandra known as Lexie love it and all the shortenings but that one suited her most

Lovely - Also just like Alexa/Lexa/Lexi(e) but probably best as nn's of Alexandra.

Really like it.

I think Sasha is the nicest nickname Alex is also good but am not very keen on Lexi.

it's not what i'd chose, as all bearing that name whom i have know have been on the bitchy side, but if you fancy it . . .

I have a good friend who named her little girl Alexandra. And they haven't shortened it afaik. I think it's a lovely name.
